hi, I personally see twitter and facebook as two distinct communities. The twitter community just waits and rarely answers the tweet. But on the other side facebook is a really community site. facebook is like you are really standing in the middle of your street and are talking to your friends and they sometimes like your arguments and sometimes focefully deny them.

I'm hoping Congress moves forward behind B.O. I'm wanting to see some serious long term plans dealing with the environment and transportation. Enough complaining already.

Great topic and thanks for bringing it up again... YES, my view has changed since March...

For me, was using twitter a while ago, but I'm just now really starting to take hold of facebook. To me, in the beginning, facebook was so social and so much play time the networking value didn't justify my time spent using it. However, now I find I am splitting my time equally between facebook and similar apps such as twitter for text updates and flickr for photo updates.

additionally, I think the two systems have very different user bases and user personality types, so each system fits a different group of users and thus a different reason for me to use it. My casual friends and creative networking buddies don't use twitter... my quick on the go business pals don't use facebook as often as twitter. I think they're equally important at this point.

FB is still going to change, but here lately it seems that it is changing for the worst. All of my friends hate the new layout on FB. Me, i don't see a problem with it at all. Maybe that's because I am around a computer more than them or they just don't like change. I love Twitter though. I agree with the people above that it may still be another year or two until it hits the main stream hard. I still ask if any of my friends or class mates use Twitter and no one knows what it is, or the few that do do not understand how to use it.

Great points Gary!

I think you bring up some great points Gary. I think it is important to realize that Facebook & Twitter are not mutually exclusive but Facebook does offer communication tools similar to Twitter and YES people are flocking to Twitter. I recorded SOMEWHAT FRANK TV episode 18 as a reply to your thoughts on Twitter vs. Facebook. It is also included below thanks to the sweet Viddler integration on your site. Enjoy!

I think both Facebook and Twitter cater to two different uses.
Twitter is great for communication and "instant gratification" (as you said in the clip), but Facebook is superior for staying in touch and documenting everything that happens in life.

Brandon said it best: it all depends on how you use the services.

Matt, McGyver would use the Swiss Army knife. If I were in the tipe of situation where a tool REALY mattered (like a McGyver type of situation) I would make sure I had a Swiss Army knife. Even my screw driver comes with drill bits in multiple sizes. This is a unatasker for nosey people. My mom would love it, but she would still call me to ask what I was doing. We are all lucky our moms are not so tech savvy, then you would be singing a different tune.

I think Twitter will ultimately become more like fbook when it unifies it's community and brings together some of the apps.

I also think fbook will needs to address their 'speed' issue, for the simple fact you just put them on blast!

But I think there is something you can't take away from Twitter. The smaller app, the better tool.

"You don't unscrew things with a swiss army knife- you can... but you don't. You use a screw driver." The right tool, for the right job.

Twitter just hit the sweet spot.

It all depends on how you use these services. For me, facebook and twitter serve two different purposes.

Facebook helps me delve into the world of friends and acquaintances that I haven't contacted in a while. It helps me catch up with them. Twitter keeps me connected and in the know with people that I am CONSISTENTLY interested in tracking and interacting with.

I dont understand the need for instant communication over content. If I had twitter, along with email, cell phone, ect I would need a secretary. I dont think many people really need this, and it is just adding to the litany of things to check. If the user expects instant transmittal of info they should use a phone, or talk face to face. I dont know how many very important things didnt get put out because the sender is an all-time-wired type and the audience is more of a boots on the ground, I'll check my info when I can type. The real next generation innovation will bring all aspects into a single interface, so my facebook, myspace, email list, and twitter can all be on one page. But then there will always be a very important segment of the population that has to unplug so they can listen to themselves every once and a while.

Give your wife a hug for allowing you to express these AWSOME thoughts! I can't agree with you more! Twitter has so much scary potential to REVOLUTIONIZE our communication and social networking experiences.

I was turned on to Twitter by a group from ABESTWEB who were at the Affiliate Summit in Vegas last month. I am the biggest non-geek who doesn't get anything but I find myself becoming addicted to the possibilities of Twitter!

I agree 100% with what you are saying here. Facebook (and maybe some other apps too) need to evolve or they risk becoming obsolete.

The apps in Facebook are good, most of them are useless to me, and I find FB all a bit boring these days. I mostly only go it it because someone has sent me a message.

Funny though I post my Twitter feed updates to FB now and I've had several of my FB friends inquire about what "Twittering" is. Some have even started to use it - people who I'd consider "mainstream" and would otherwise have never come across Twitter.

I understand your point and agree. Facebook can seem a little over-engineered for those who want to move fast in a microblogging format like Twitter, but they are different animals. I'm a big fan of extending FB with 3rd party apps (i.e. Twitter integrated into FB). Some friends tell me that they find me and friend me on FB but then end up following my twitter more regularly than they would ever go back to my FB profile. Valid points made here, agree with Paul. I don't think that one necessarily replaces the other.

Hey Gary,

We're already building this. The content engine launches in July. Look for us.

Not that Facebook is dead or going anywhere, it's just a different experience.

I've been telling this to all my friends who watch the CNNs and read yahoo finance. Twitter is going to be the big ticket web thing everyone is talking about next year. People looking at it from the outside don't get it, but once you're in, every other social networking site feels horrendously slow. I still log into facebook daily, but its more of a side note these days. Will probably change in the next couple months.

I think it's pretty dependent on mobile tech. Until the majority of people either have iphones/internet easy phones or unlimited free texts, I don't see twitter overcoming facebook. Those two things may seem omnipresent at SxSw but they aren't for most people.

I have to agree with those that say you can't really compare the two. They are two different animals.

And I'm pretty sure Facebook lets you set a "status" via your cell phone and receive your friends statuses to your phone too.

Lastly, applause to those who can afford the monstrous cell phone bill when receiving a twitter every 5 minutes (yes, I know there is a desktop client, but isn't the point to be totally mobile and know what's going on?).
