None of them.

IMO these are for teenagers.

 

except... the majority of facebook users are college students, most of them being in there 20's

 

after all, facebook started as an exclusive harvard networking system. then went ivy league school only ,

expanding to standofrod and yale..

 

 

 

My mother and grandmother use facebook.

I can't read anything on Facebook without signing up, right?

 

true. Then as a user you have complete control over who can see what.

 

So they serve two completely different functions and there isn't a real reason in trying to compare them?

I don't use either, but I can atleast read things on twitter.

No, Twitters is a subset function of Facebook. You can have an open account on Facebook that any other Facebook user can see. Plus to participate in either site you must be a member.

Facebook.

I have a Myspace and Facebook account. I don't understand twitter at all. I try to keep one socialize site like Myspace or Facebook and one gaming forum and that is VGChartz.

Facebook for me. Twitter just seems kinda pointless. It's just a glorified RSS feed.

I can read stuff on twitter without having a twitter account just fine.

They don't really serve the same purpose, one is like a networked scrapbook while the other is like news ticker, one is for communicating with a small group of people while the other is for broadcasting to the masses.

I use MySpace for real friends and VGChartz for internet people.

I never understood the appeal of either although I didn't do the myspace thing when it was big either - I just don't see the reason to "make friends" with people online - your never going to meet them in real life (hopefully) so who gives a shit what they think?



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
