What Is difference between Facebook and twitter?

[sanjaymittal]

Hey all answers are very useful thanx. acutely reason for this question is because when I use twitter I m not feeling attached but most of the celebrities use this and like to interact with them. and may be as I feel people on twitter feel superior and broad mined than Facebook..and one of the reason is my weak English ..

There are so many differences b/w twitter and facebook..........

• Lifespan of content: Statistically, it has been reported that 92% of all activity and engagement with Tweets happens within the first hour of the post being made. With Facebook status updates, the interaction can go on for hours, and even days. Twitter is basically centered around real-time conversation, while Facebook is more of an ongoing conversation that people get to eventually.

• Twitter is less about social friendships. People make connections on Facebook with friends, family members, and other people that they care to keep in touch with. Twitter allows people to follow important topics, people, and conversations that are relevant or interesting to them. It's a much more detached connection.

• Timely matters versus timelessness: While content on Facebook is timeless, the information on Twitter is always here and now, important and relevant, and constantly changing. If you have instant news, Twitter is the place to go. For content that is less focused on time or timing, Facebook is a great medium.

• Optimal times for posting are different. It has been studied and 5:00 P.M. seems to be the optimal time for tweeting, while noon seems to be the time when Facebook status updates get the most attention. Also, Wednesdays are more popular for tweets while Saturdays are more popular for Facebook posting. This is an obvious point of the difference in relevant news and content on Twitter versus the entertainment factor that Facebook has.
