So Which Social Network is the Best?
Twitter Pros
- Easy to navigate and update, link to and promote anything
- Reach far beyond your inner circle of friends
- One feed pools all users; anyone can follow anyone else unless blocked
- Pure communication tool, rapid responsiveness
- You don’t have to be logged in to get updates; you can just use an RSS reader
- Very interactive, extensible messaging platform with open APIs
- Many other applications being developed (Twitterific, Summize, Twhirl, etc.)
- Potential SMS text messaging revenue from wireless networks (although Twitter states they are not currently getting any cut)
- Potential future advertising and/or enterprise subscription-based revenue streams
- With its “thin” overhead, Twitter is probably more scalable than Facebook, giving it a cost advantage
Facebook Pros
- Application mashup; find people, make connections, email, instant messaging, image/video sharing, etc.
- Most people can quickly grasp the value of connecting with friends, family and established contacts; some people report they use Facebook instead of email and IM
- More emphasis on deep connections with others vs. who has the most connections
- “True Friends” feature increases your transparency to selected connections; almost like having private and public profiles
- Huge, rapidly growing installed user base
- Inherit stickiness, third party applications, “gift giving” and personal data collection make Facebook a powerful advertising platform
So at last both twitter and facebook are future social networking websites !!
So according to me I personally feel Twitter is the best !!
