Twitter is a newsroom. Breaking news is one imagined emergency after another, from around the world, delivered to your unprepared brain

Using the analogy of the human mind as a computer, gossip can be compared to a computer virus. A computer virus is a piece of computer language written in the same language all the other codes are written in, but with a harmful intent. This code is inserted into the program of your computer when you least expect it and most of the time without your awareness. After this code has been introduced, your computer doesn’t work quite right, or it doesn’t function at all because the codes get so mixed up with so many conflicting messages that it stops producing good results.

Twitter is crack for media addicts.

There is a trouble called Twitter, the finest lies are here. Nowadays, social media is actually the headache of societies.

I am uncertain from where comes Twitter’s weirdly Stalinist angle of insisting you show your guilt by deleting your own tweets. Possibly it has to do with Twitter’s legal insistence that you own your own tweets (but you just can’t do anything with them if Twitter decides it doesn’t like you). Hence, Twitter isn’t hitting you, you’re hitting yourself.

Twitter is a way to broadcast messages to hundreds of millions of people to find the few dozen that you actually want to talk to.

Every single tweet costs nothing and has the potential to reach the entire world.

It’s the best lottery ever made.

Twittering just seemed to be people telling other people what they were doing — getting in the shower, making coffee. Who on earth wanted to know these things?...Babble and twitter. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Twitter is television for intellectuals.

Twitter will either teach you how to cultivate peace of mind, or destroy it.

Ideology is a virus.

If Twitter did ever end up representing the real world, the world would end.

People are always criticizing Twitter. "Twitter is crazy!" they say. I think that's misguided. Twitter is simply an avenue -- there are many -- by which people reveal who they are.

Twitter is irreplaceable for intelligent introverts.
