Twitter and Facebook are both popular social networking sites within the Teen age group as they are both sites on which you can quickly contact friends and it costs nothing to join or use where as texting costs money to use. Both are similar in a few ways but are different in so many others.
Facebook is a social networking site where you can chat with friends, post statuses or pictures, play games and do quizzes. You can read your friend's statuses and 'like' or comment on them. There are a big selection of games to play, from looking after a zoo or farm to being an alien and exploring space to mafia wars. Facebook is a quick way to allow others to talk to you or find you.
Twitter is a social networking site where you can follow celebrities and friends, post 'tweets' and share pictures and videos. You can read the tweets that the people you follow have posted and your followers can read your tweets. If you see a tweet that you like you can Re-Tweet it which allows your followers to see it, you can also reply to tweets or direct message a person (no one else can see it). Twitter is a rapid way to update your status and find out what others around you are doing at that moment in time.
Twitter and Facebook are similar in a few ways, they both allow you to tell the world what you are doing and allow you to post photos and videos of the world from your eyes. Also they let you read other's post/tweets and you can reply/comment on the posts.
On the other hand, they are completely different from each other. When you send a friend request on Facebook you have to wait to have your request accepted before you can talk or comment on that person's posts whereas Twitter you can just follow the person instead of sending a request and they don't have to follow you back. On Facebook you can 'Like' pages that are set up for celebrities however on Twitter you can follow the celebrities and actually get an insight in to what their lives are like, what they are doing and see photos that they have taken. Although on Twitter you are much freer in what you can do, Facebook has a wide range of games and quizzes.
What do you think is best?
