Similarities
First let's take a look at what these two giants share, they are both social networks. You can upload pictures, videos, your mood, have friends, see what they are up to, create a profile and such.
Differences:
1) Facebook: you have Friends, in twitter you have followers.
This is what I don't like about twitter, what kind of creep uses the word "follow". as in "hey, I'm now following Miley Cyrus". If that doesn't yell PEDO I don't know what does. In facebook, like in real life you have friends, it's mutual, you see what they're up to, they see what you're up to. Simple. I don't have to worry about OCHOCINCO following me.
2) Facebook: I click on profile, then upload picture, choose what album and click ok, everyone sees the pic. Meanwhile in Twitter, I have to open a second account in a website called Twitpic, wtf? Try saying that out loud "Twitpic", its one of the gayest names ever, don't be saying that in public.
3) On facebook I get plenty of space to type in my status; on twitter, I have a limited 140 characters, what am I supposed to do with that? What was the reason behind this? So that people would get creative and find ways to shorten their words? As if their spelling does not suck already. For very long links I have to go to a website called tinyurl or bitly or something. How am I supposed to know where that link from that stranger who is following me might take me? Never follow strangers, specially if they offer you candy.
4) Facebook, you're limited as to who might read your updates and thoughts. On twitter you have a magic key called #(insert subject here) and you get to discuss (fight) with anyone who is looking at that trend. Trust me, the internet has never been this fun, only drawback is that I only get 140 characters to tell someone to piss off.
5) Facebook: you're not really sure if someone famous will read your post. On twitter they get whatever you said in real time, great for stalking celebrities(loser). On twitter this is your friend --> @.
What celebrities are saying in twitter at the moment:
Miley Cyrus: "Catching up with a friend whie drinking a hot cup of coffee :) Life is good today" WTF, life wasn't good yesterday for a rich 15 year old girl? Gimme a break.
Asthon Kutcher: "Don't it always seem 2 go, U don't know what U got til it's gone, they paved paradise & put up a parking lot- Joni Mitchell" I wont say anything bad about this guy, great actor.
I really don't know many celebrities on twitter and I wont look for them right now, but you get the picture.
Facebook or Twitter. I for one prefer facebook for now. But these two giants are still growing, we'll have to see what the future has in store for us.
You get to decide on which one is better. Leave your comments and defend your favorite, I'll add your comments on Round 2.
