Facebook or Twitter? Which do you prefer more?

[TVFactFan]

I tried this twitter thing but it sucks. Can't upload a pic unless it's the size of a toenail and I just don't see what is everyone is so excited about twitter. I don't like the look of twitter and it's just a dull site.


On the otherhand, Facebook is nice and bright and very easy to use and be involved in all kind of contests and just BLOWS twitter off the social network map in my opinion

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Facebook. I don't even understand what the point of Twitter is. You just type random things and post them. Woopie ****.

Oh wait, I do that here...

[MonarC]

I like twitter. Short and sweet messages. Never got into facebook.

[Darren J.]

I don't have either one, but all my friends prefer Facebook. Even my mom has a facebook.

Well the first thing that turned me of about twitter was the LOOK. Very unattractive, it looks like the internet was out in the late 70's when I look at it.

I haven't even looked at the site. It just sounds pointless to me.

[Marvo301]

I don't have a facebook page but I do tweet. I only joined twitter so I could be a follower of S.O. there. I spend very little time there though because as Sol said it's boring. Anyway S.O. is my real social networking site anyway!!!

[Hollow]

:lol:

i don't think it's really appropriate to compare the two. facebook is for social networking and twitter is just for status updates. but if i were to choose a preference anyway, it would be twitter because it doesn't confuse the **** out of me.

What confuses you about facebook?

[Brian Damage]

I really don't like either, I prefer the phone to give status updates. Although, if I was forced to choose, I would choose facebook, although I hardly use it. Twitter does seem pretty pointless overall.

[dawsongirl]

I don't have either, though I've had people tell me I need to get a facebook.

I'll never Twitter. I don't think anyone gives two ****s about what I would tweet. I don't even care.

[Brieannas21]

I have tweeted and then I stopped, but I've never been on Facebook, I don't get it nor have I tried to get it.

[browneyes106]

I do have a Twitter account but I hardly use it. I like Facebook more and Twitter only allows to post short blogs. I like Facebook you can post long notes on anything you want to.

[waichingliu81]

personally speaking, i think social networking sites in general are pointless because i'd rather go on an actual fan site, such as this one and as the people online would talk about the types of things that interest me and them. also, most of the social networking sites have boring and unattractive looking layouts. the main reason why i joined twitter is because michael urie and mark indelicato who play marc and justin on ugly betty are on there. if they weren't around, then i wouldn't have signed up to twitter.

there is a website called fanpop that i am a member of and here it acts as a social networking site AND a fan site for people of different tastes and interests. and i much prefer it to the likes of facebook, myspace. actually, the only websites i visit regularly are this one and fanpop.

[catlover79]

Facebook - one is more than enough. :lol:

[howierules86]

May I say neither? Because I don't see the fascination of either one of them.

[Sharop]

I haven't signed up to Twitter and don't know much about it so I can't really say whether I like it or not. Maybe I'll join it one day. I do like Facebook though.

[Waterston_Fan]

I like Facebook too.

[Jude The Obscure]

Facebook all the way! I have reconnected with so many old friends and classmates in the short amount of time I have been on it. And I didn't have to pay to do it (take THAT classmates.com and mylife.com!)

I don't see the need for Twitter...I am not that obsessed with everyone's wherabouts and doings 24/7.

[Doodyville10019]

I love Facebook - I even have a page on it. Tried Twitter - never got the hang of it.

[Brad Russ]

I can't really say, because I haven't joined Twitter, and have very little information as to what it's all about. I will probably check it out, and if I like it, I'm sure I'll join. As far as Facebook goes, I'm really liking it so far. It's helped me get back in regular contact with a couple people I hadn't spoken with in awhile, and it's also introduced me to a few SOer's who I never really got the chance to know here including Joni (DoodyVille) Jude (Jude The Obscure) and Oscar. There are a few things about Facebook that annoy me, but I just don't use those things. I just stick with what I understand.

[Brieannas21]

Well in twitters defense, they do help the cops on certain things.

[MickeyMac]

Facebook for me. I am even on there somewhere

[Jude The Obscure]

And i'm grateful to get to know my fellow SO'ers are there as well! I'm a pretty likeable fellow, if I do say so myself :D

Yes you are, and I'm glad I'm getting to know such a cool cat!!! :cool: Hopefully we'll get the chance to chat one of these days on Facebook, as I'm sure that'll be fun!!

[MickeyMac]

I got four of you on my facebook page and yall seem like cool cats to me.

[Brad Russ]

Oh, you're who I got the message from today. I thought your name sounded familiar, but just couldn't make out who you were on S.O. Thanks so much for the add!! It's always cool making new S.O. friends!! :cool:

Just had the most awesome chat with Brad!! He's a great guy!! :)

Thanks Jude, your comment made my night!!! :D It was awesome chatting with you too, and I can't wait to do it again. You're fun to talk to because you're smart, and you have lots to say!! That's always a plus when talking to someone. :cool:

[Shine]

I've never had much interest in Facebook. I know what it is, but it isn't something I would be interested it. And Twitter? Frankly, I don't even know what it is.

[gilligan fanatic]

I do all my talking on Facebook, but I like reading on Twitter.

[MrCleveland]

Facebook.

I tried Twitter...but I never did much....

[browneyes106]

facebook- its way better...twitter is the stupidest sh*t i've ever seen lol. wtf is a twitter anyway? you can't comment anybody else, and it's merely a site to post your status, which is stolen from facebook anyway. facebook is nice, easy to use and easy to talk to all my friends & fam to. Definitely Facebook.

I see Twitter the same way too. It's just way to post your status. On Facebook you can comment people and use apps.

[Brad Russ]

I wanted to ask a question about Facebook, and figured I'd post it here, instead of starting a new thread, just to ask my dumb little question. Anyway, I'm probably going to sound like an idiot here, but where is your facebook link located at on your profile? I want to add my Facebook link to my signature, incase anyone here wants to be my friend, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the damn thing is. I know it's a stupid question, but can anyone help me out? Thanks!!

Just go to EDIT SIGNATURE on here and copy and paste the link inside the signature and then it will show

[PlayOn]

I don't have a Facebook, but I do have a Twitter account. You can add me: www.twitter.com/Dude87
And you CAN comment to others. You just have to do @(insert name here) Like, one of the people I follow is Natalie Grant, a Christian singer (see siggy). If I want to comment to one of her pictures or whatever I'll put @NatalieGrant and then post whatever I want to say. And they comment back by using the same @(insert name here) thing. The only thing I don't like about Twitter is you have a limit on the words you can post. Sometimes, I've used two tweets just to tell what I was doing.

[EmoJoe]

i like them both for different reasons. Facebook and Twitter aren't really comparable to me...Facebook is more like MySpace while Twitter is more like blogging, kind of.

i mostly use Twitter to follow David and Jordin and other celebrities really lol

anywhere you have your profile picture on Facebook is a clickable link to your profile, so you can right-click on it and copy the address and paste it wherever you need to

Thanks robyrob!! You're always such a big help, and I appreciate it very much!! :) It seems so obvious now that you mention it, there's just so much stuff on Facebook, that it's easy to miss stuff sometimes. But thanks again for the help, I should be able to find my link now. :thumbsup:

[PunkyP0WER]

none. i don't see the point of social networking sites. just pick up a phone for pete's sake!

[Marvo301]

You mean actually talk to people? Wow what a cool concept!

I'm totally with you on this, Kim. I think the whole idea of both MySpace and Facebook is silly.

[Sharop]

They are quite useful in helping you find people you're no longer in contact with.

[comedyfreak]

Facebook for me.

[PlayOn]

I do talk to people on the phone, but how can I talk with Carrie Underwood (or anybody famous for that matter) if I don't know their number? ;)

[Brent88]

I'm obsessed with Facebook, every couple of hours I'm always checking it at least. :lol: Twitter is stupid to me. I don't get it at all.

[browneyes106]

I agree they make easier to keep in touch friends and relatives who live out of state or that are hard to keep in contact with through phone.

[Shine]

Yeah, but I don't want to find people I'm no longer in contact with. :lol: ;)

[Sharop]

Yeah, but I don't want to find people I'm no longer in contact with. :lol: ;)

Really, not a single one? It's good that you have contact information for everyone you want in your life. :)

Still, a lot of people lose touch over the years, so Facebook can be useful for helping you get back into contact with former friends/classmates etc that you haven't seen in years.

[EmoJoe]

exactly, it's a lot easier than "picking up the phone", and for some people it's also a way of expressing yourself.
