      Facebook or Twitter?
      
      You might as well ask the question  "coffee or a skateboard?"
      
      Facebook and twitter are totally different applications.
      
      Which one is better would depend on what you want to do.

         yup. Mostly because I see twitter as utterly useless. Perhaps that's because I just started with it and haven't formed connections? It's just not interesting to me.

            I have both and don't know what I'm doing on either.     So I end up doing nothing but "sharing" whatever I write - and that's it.  It's embarrassing.    I have "a whopping"  11 followers on Twitter!  I don't even "get" what you're supposed to do.     (I guess it's because I'm "old"    )  The other "old" people in my life aren't interested in what I do, and my kids REALLY really aren't interested in it.    It's hopeless.
            
            Anyway, here's mine.  Nobody's going want to follow me.  Trust me on that.

   I don't know how to Twitter.
   
   ...I actually "joined" once and posted a comment.....maybe I didn't do it right.  But I stopped 'cause I've heard that a person can be charged huge texting fees without realizing it??
   Does anyone know about that?
   
   I do get e-mails once in a while saying so-and-so is "following" me on Twitter.......but I dunno what that means 'cause I haven't used Twitter again....
   
   HELP this dummy un-join!?

      When someone follows you, that means he is in your network and watching your activity or reading your comments.
      
      It is way to increase popularity.
      
      Texting fees get charged only if you use on mobile. There is no fee if you do it on computer.

   everything you can do on twitter, you can do on facebook. And facebook can do more. Twitter is just easier to see things from your friends and getting the word out to your friends than facebook. I am still more of a fan of facebook.

    Twitter. You branch out more and make connections you would never have thought of.  Facebook tends to be more clusters of people who you know and trust already.
    
    The micro-blogging format is pretty cool once you get used to it too. The pace is snappy and if you follow the right people, you just get these fantastic (witty &/or interesting) one liners  on a constant, rolling basis.

    I have both but I must say its much easier to communicate with ppl via Facebook, with either facebook chat, direct message or even a wall post. Hope this persuades a couple of ppl to become "Facebook Freaks" over "Twit Freaks"

    Both work to drive traffic in general. Even though I like Facebook better than twitter, but that is my preference.
    
    I get more traffic from posting hubs on Facebook than I do from tweeting out the same hub.

    I love both but if I was to pick a favorite of the two it would be face book.
    
    I have about 1,000 followers on there but I find it easier to have a real discussion on facebook over twitter.kinda hard to say what you really want to say with 140 characters.
    
    However I find twitter grate for traffic or just getting the word out, it has great business applications. even thou I have over 4,000 followers I still manage to get my message to the people I am trying to talk to. Using the DM works well when you have so many tweeting by on the main page.
    
    I did write an hub on automating twitter this will also help you get more followers.

    I love twitter, and hate facebook.  I don't like knowing other people's business.  I got sick and tired of all the "I just had a tummy tuck," "I just got a boob job," comments all the time.  Seriously, who tells people that kind of personal stuff?  Twitter you don't have that kind of chat.  At least I don't.

    Facebook for personal profiles if you want to be able to do a lot (photo albums, apps, games, etc.).  Twitter if you want something that is simple to update (140 characters, text, links).

    I've noticed that Facebook is a lot more user friendly than Twitter. I found Twitter hard to use and think it is really stupid that people just follow then unfollow and the connections made on twitter are just fake.

    For me, Twitter works best at keeping up with my closest circle of friends who are fellow writers. As far as promoting my business, my writing and really developing friendships and networking potential, Facebook still gets my two thumbs up.
