Twitter VS Facebook

  
     Social medial is at the heart of every person's online life today. If you are exploring the world of social media for the first time, all of the different options can seem a bit confusing. The most asked question that people seem to have, however, what is the difference between Twitter and Facebook?

 

     Facebook users are encouraged to enter their real personal information and connect to friends, family members, and other people that they care to keep in touch with. They update status, share commentary, interesting content (articles, video, etc.), send private messages to friends and engage in Facebook activities such as games, polls, and more. Inside of Facebook you will Like or Share something.

     Twitter is a "micro-blogging" tool, meaning you can share clever comments and content, but you must keep it brief (under 140 characters to be exact). Twitter allows people to follow important topics, people, and conversations that are relevant or interesting to them. Inside of Twitter you will ReTweet or Favorite Something instead of like or share.

     The similarity between facebook and twitter is both of them allow the use of hashtag.

     In a conclusion, there are plenty of differences between Facebook and Twitter, but the bottom line is that Facebook is more of an ongoing social relationship builder. Twitter keeps people updated and topics and trending conversations are constantly changing.
