Facebook vs Twitter

Facebook and Twitter are both tools of communication. They have both evolved and changed and most likely will continue to do so. Personally, I use Facebook much more than I use Twitter. They are both useful for certain things. But both my social media accounts are for entertainment purposes. I use Facebook to catch up with friends and see what they are doing. I can see exactly what they have been up to with the pictures they post, status updates, wall posts, and comments. It is all right there in one spot on my computer screen. Facebook is also a great way to find new friends or people you just met. Sometimes it makes it easier to find something in common with a new friend. Twitter I use for news, and seeing what celebrities are up to. It's also fun to pull up Twitter during any awards shows. It is more of an environment for open conversation. It is more difficult to do so on Facebook. I have more friends on Facebook than I do followers on Twitter.

I post and share more things on Facebook than Twitter. Sometimes I have more to say than what the 140 characters will allow me. But also, because I have more friends on Facebook, more people will see it and more people can catch up with what I am doing, if they choose to do so.  Twitter, for me, is not used in this way. I rarely if ever tweet pictures or at all for that matter. I use it more for following and getting some news sources from it. I like to know what is happening in the entertainment field, which is why I originally created a Twitter. But there are only certain times when I check it. I check my Facebook more often than Twitter. Twitter is useful for bringing attention and awareness to certain events or news. It is also funny to see all the witty and funny tweets that are tweeted by the people I follow. Eventually, I will probably get into using Twitter a little more. Maybe not more than Facebook, but more than I use it now.
