Twitter Vs. Facebook
People say that Facebook is for connecting with the people you went to school with and Twitter is for people you wished you had gone to school with. WhileFacebook is a multi-purpose social networking platform, allowing users to chat, post photos and notes, and play games, Twitter is built around the posting of short 140 character messages, or “tweets.” They are the two most popular social networks in the world.

Opinion:
In my personal opinion I think that Twitter is better well as I use more Twitter Im accustomed to it format. And I think its better because it has different ways of comunicate with people that you know and you can express yourself in a short way but you have also the feature of Direct Message. In Twitter you can search for people all around the world and with the #: hashtag you can label the things that you post and discover a lot of things. Twitter also helps to get more people to know you with the option of FOLLOW and you can follow people and know how many people follows you. Twitter is more used as a network for post short thingsand to know notices and events, so for these and more reasons is why I prefer Twitter than Facebook.
