Emmanuel PetitI hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people, just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day, but I don't pretend that if Facebook didn't exist, that this wouldn't even be possible. Of course, it would have.
Mark ZuckerbergYou can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You'll know it when you hit a home run.
Steve WozniakI think it's good for the fans, as well, because they get to connect with you directly. You know, in the old days, if I wanted to, like, write to (Steven) Spielberg or Sam Raimi or whatever, I'm not sure I could actually write a fan mail and (I'd) have no idea where to actually send it.

Guy KawasakiNow everyone's main objective of taking photographs is to have a photograph for Twitter or Facebook. I find that troubling.

Sit and a listen to what the man is saying, because nine times out of 10, you're not going to look at that photo. You're not going to look at the video. As a photographer, I don't carry a camera. I have my iPhone, but I don't carry a camera. I want to live.

Chris ColferI'm worried about privacy because of the young people who don't give a damn about their privacy, who are prepared to put their entire private lives online.

Iyanla VanzantA $200 million contract just got awarded to develop software to provide the Department of Defense with all these sock puppets who have fake Twitter and Facebook accounts. Why not create ten fake Libyan Twitter users and then get one journalist to follow them. But the problem is, of course, it corrupts the entire process.

But that doesn't make any sense because: A) it can be translated pretty easily, and B) Americans also speak other languages.
Michael HastingsSometimes as actors and artists, we don't really get to be an effective and integral part of the promotional process, other than doing interviews.
