There are a lot of pros and cons about social media; it's just how you choose to handle it and how you have to be prepared for the negatives as well.

Social media can connect you with other people in so many wonderful ways - but it can also make you really sick of yourself.

Social media can be dangerous. People hide behind their computers and write negative things, so I like to keep it about communicating with my fans.

I realized that social media can be powerful force for good in the world and that acts of kindness can be scaled globally.

For me, I guess the general reason for using social media is that the connection I have with people who are interested in my music is extremely important to me. That connection is like the pillar in everything I do. I want to embrace that connection and make it stronger.

A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.

The reason people need advice on using social media is that they're a much more complex and nuanced way to communicate than a conversation or email.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

As a writer and sometime activist who needs to promote my books and articles and occasionally rally people to one cause or another, I found Facebook fast and convenient. Though I never really used it to socialize, I figured it was OK to let other people do that, and I benefited from their behavior.

Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family and professionals. It is a veritable battleground, where insults fly from the human quiver, damaging lives, destroying self-esteem and a person's sense of self-worth.
