Facebook is popular by the name of social networking site. Whereas twitter IS a social networking site but its moreover like blog or microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets where tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers.

About Twitter:
Twitter is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by Alexa's web traffic analysis. Although estimates of the number of daily users vary because the company does not release the number of active accounts, a February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a monthly growth of 1,382 percent, Zimbio of 240 percent, followed by Facebook with an increase of 228 percent. However, only 40 percent of Twitter's users are retained.

About Facebook:
Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. The website's membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 350 million active users worldwide.

So, Facebook is popular and twitter is fastest growing however there is no such exact measure which could exactly determine the popularity since both the sites keep their total number of users in abstraction.

I think Face Book is still more popular because it's been around longer, but Twitter is coming up.I prefer Face Book because in addition to personal networking Face Book gives access to many political and cultural organizations whereas Twitter is strictly more of a networking side but limited more to individuals. I am also somewhat leery with these sites about issues of confidentiality and viruses.
