Title: Facebook or Twitter?
Post by: omgitsalliex3 on July 07, 2009, 06:42:35 pm
So, it used to be MySpace... then it was Facebook... and now it's Twitter.  Which do you prefer?  Why?

They all are useless and a waste of time... but myspace is good for listening to new metal bands I want to hear, or new cd releases, facebook is alright for talking to the couple people I talk to on there and staying in touch with some randoms, and twitter? No sure exactly what it is but who the heck wants to get texts saying that Ryan Reynolds just took a nasty green *bleep*? The guy is a decent actor but I don't care to hear that junk.

myspace all the way for me.
i like twitter quite a bit as well.

and i HAVE facebook - i check it regularly,
although i don't like it all that much.
it just seems less cool than the other two.
more sleazy? that isn't the right word, but you know what i mean.

Facebook- much easier to see what's going on.  Twitter is too much of a deluge of random junk.

I have tried all 3 and definitely like myspace the best. It seems easier to use, and from what Ive seen more people still seem to use myspace.

I personally like facebook better than myspace.  twitter is just a waste of time.  its very egocentrical and celebrity based. 
stick with facebook.

Facebook, defiantly. It's so slick and streamlined. And I thought twitter was just posting what you are currently doing at the moment... facebook has the same thing.

I love facebook because I get to talk to many of my old friends and relatives.  How else can I easily see what my cousins in Norway are doing?

I also like Twitter, but it all depends on who you follow.  I don't like to follow too many people...you end up with too many pointless posts.

I havent tried twitter but it seems alittle much to me, like when facebook went to the "stalker" page (the page that opens when u sign it now that lists everything your friends have posted or done on their page plus all the requests for friends, events, groups and apps).  Maybe i will like if i try it though, just not interested now

I definately prefer Facebook. Twitter facilitates stalking. All you do is post updates about yourself. You're basically putting your life out there for anyone who wants it. Twitter is wayy to intrusive for me. Even if Facebook has that same feature, there's more privacy and it's more focused on connecting with friends.

I use Facebook.  I despise Twitter.  Why would I want someone to know what I'm doing every second of every day?   Seems quite useless to me.
Title: Re: Facebook or Twitter?

Facebook is a little more grown up than myspace and twitter is way to personal...facebook is my choice.

in my opinion there all a waste of time n can ruin your future such as college or work since just about everyone has access to them....the only good there is for them is free advertising :)

see, i've always found facebook to be MORE annoying than twitter when it comes to privacy like that O_o i hate the way it tells people about EVERY single thing you DO on there! and i realize that you can turn each application off - so that people don't see your activity in their news threads. but you have to do THAT for every single thing :( i liked the old facebook much, MUCH better. with twitter, you just post what you want to post about. it doesn't have to be extremely personal - unless you want it to be.. you know?

In my opinion, it's still Myspace. Facebook is still as lame as it ever was and Twitter... Well yeah, lets not go there.

Post by: liljp617 on July 16, 2009, 08:24:02 pm
:P Lot of misunderstandings about Twitter.  People need to do some more reading/research before forming opinions!

I have tried all 3 and definitely like myspace the best. It seems easier to use, and from what Ive seen more people still seem to use myspace.

Incorrect.  Facebook has overtaken Myspace by a fairly large margin in terms of number of accounts (and Myspace has way more spam accounts than Facebook, so the margin is probably larger than listed).

In my opinion, it's still Myspace. Facebook is still as lame as it ever was and Twitter... Well yeah, lets not go there.

err Facebook and Myspace are pretty much identical in their purpose, so I don't know how one is lame and the other isn't.  The only thing Facebook doesn't have is 15 million 13 year olds putting so much crap on their page that it takes 10 minutes to load.

I use twitter. Easy to log in and use. I log in, I update and type and I am out. Quick and easy.If you are running a site with reviews it is a good tool to draw in readers. I use it as a news update.
Title: Re: Facebook or Twitter?

I definitely prefer Facebook, since you can have more fun on Facebook playing in the applications, searching for photos or friends, and post comments.

I still use Myspace the most. But I also like Twitter because REAL celebrities have accounts on Twitter.
Title: Re: Facebook or Twitter?
Post by: pesbs on November 08, 2009, 01:25:42 am
I like to use Facebook a lot more than Twitter, since I have a lot more fun playing on Facebook applications, which Twitter doesn't have. On Twitter you can only post what you are doing right now and that's it.

I am all about facebook.  It seems that tweeting is for those that are in High School and you want to know EVERYTHING that they did that day.  On a side note, I know of several business that are checking out Facebook/Tweets/MySpace and matching them up with the resume and seeing a different side of the applicant.

I am a facebook fan for sure. I love it because I can keep in touch with my family and friends who are miles away from me. Twitter is kind of boring really, not much to do with it. I still have myspace page but rarely visit it.

I like facebook much better, it's easyto use and share pictures, twitter just seems like something that stalkers and celebrities fanatics like a little too much....myspace is still great for musicians though it seems a little outdated now with the other options out there.

Twitter because it is relatively easy to use and you can follow your friends or family. With facebook I don't have any use for it.

I have a twitter account but have no idea what to do with it or how to use it so I'm saying facebook is better for now. I think twitter is trendy like myspace was back in the day but myspace crashed and burned once facebook became more popular and I think the same will happen to twitter.
