what is the difference between facebook and twitter?

[something n]

I have thought about getting a twitter, because there is so much buzz about how great it is. It seems to be similar to facebook, because you see what everyone else is doing. So whats so cool about it?

Both are social networking sites, but Tweeter is for stating small phases only (also known as micro blogging) and Facebook has additional applications to share contents with others

I think it's cool if you have a short attention span -- meaning you don't like to read or look at much stuff lol.

On Twitter you basically just update your status. You can follow other people's statuses and people can comment on yours... it's like a mini-Facebook. Or maybe I should say Facebook is a major-Twitter.

You can do lots more on Facebook what with photos and different apps. Twitter is for the simple-minded maybe? lol

Both are social networking websites. On twitter yo can update your status or what every your are doing at work. On Facebook you can use thousands of applications free. You can join groups and fan pages and also you can find people of similar interest.
