“Twitter is the only brand of social media that I have ever taken to at all. I like the feeling of having my perception of the world expanded daily, 24/7, by being able to monitor the reactions of 100-and-some people throughout the world that I personally follow so I have some sense of who they are.

I am able to wake up, open Twitter, and sort of glance across the psychic state of the planet.”

William Gibson
