    I'm going to be 'that guy' and bring this question up. Hate on my all you want to, but it's a perfectly valid questions. ;)

    Which do you prefer - Twitter or Facebook? Why?

    I think each one has unique offerings. Twitter is my preferred method of following companies and blogs; it's more informational and news-related. I would follow a company's Twitter feed long before I'd like them on Facebook. While most companies hit up Facebook first, because that is more popular, Facebook is more personal for me; my friends and family.

    I prefer facebook. Like you said, it's more personal. I keep in touch with friends and family there. I also like to read posts from the pages that I 'Like'.

    Facebook or Twitter, that’s a real tough question because I love them both but if I would have to choose one I would say “Myspace” LOL just kidding “Twitter” and my reason is that it’s, in my opinion more simpler and straight forward also less clutter. Twitter is my go to app for all my news update on the go, funny jokes and inspiring quotes.

    But on the other hand Facebook is more of a vibes for me, somewhere which I can go to mess around and video chat with friends and family.

    For me I prefer Facebook because there is so much more to do on there and I keep in touch with my family and friends. I started using Facebook in 2007 so it's been 7 years so I have been on it for a long time and I don't have any plans to delete my account. Some of my friends play games on Facebook and I also played a few games but then stopped. I don't ever go on Twitter even though I do have an account there too. Right now the only social networking site I go on all the time is Facebook. I also read about the celebrity news on Facebook along with other news that is very important.

    I use both sites and I love them. Twitter I mostly use for promoting my work. As for Facebook, I also use it for promotion, but it's mainly used for connecting with family and friends. Even though I love both sites, they do have their cons. With Twitter I don't like the 140 character limit and as for Facebook they can be finicky with their rules and that's a big turn off for me.

    Honestly, I love both. Whenever there's nothing on Facebook I got to Twitter. Whenever there's nothing on Twitter, I go to Facebook. They're both great to use.

    I agree that both has a unique feature but I prefer Facebook because it's much easier to get connected with my family and friends. I don't usually post a status, so Twitter may not suit me while Facebook leaves me the option to chat, play games, and read some post on my news feed to keep me entertained. Aside from that, I am also a fan of Mark Zuckerberg and been using Facebook for about 8 years ;).

    I like to use both facebook and twitter. I use facebook to stay in contact with friends and family. I use twitter for entertainment, there's a lot of funny trends that twitter has that will always crack me up.

    I dislike both, Facebook and Twitter. I rarely even use FB anymore and I only use Twitter for marketing some products. Twitter is really good traffic source for your websites when you have a lot of followers. I have 5k followers currently.

    I have to go with Twitter. You can connect with fans if you have any and also it's just a lot more simple! You can still connect with friends if you need to as well.

    Hi . I choose Facebook. I choose face book because I like the style and settings. I love what I can do and I like the content on face book . On the other hand , I feel that twitter is limited. I like to have my say! On Twitter there just isn't enough room to write. I really don't know enough about twitter. This shows how much I care for twitter. I enjoy face book because it helps me find ways to earn money. Not only for that reason but, i feel that it helps me find my friends from the past. I can out as many photos up as I want. The benefit is great if one likes twitter or face book. You can make money with either site.

    Two completely different things, so comparing them is just apples and oranges. Just because they both fall under the umbrella term of 'social media' doesn't really help here.

    I use both, and they both have their respective pros and cons.

    I prefer facebook, especially when I cook so occasionally something good to eat, and post my pictures on facebook and I see how my friends are seen encourages me to keep my good recipes I prepared with improvisations. And yes it is a site that may have confidence that I can find new friends as you can get along with them virtually for me is number one.

    Facebook is better than twitter in many ways based on my experience. Twitter is merely just for famous people. Twitter has limited features unlike facebook. Tweeting is just the best part in twitter though Facebook beats that feature.

    Let me discuss about facebook, Facebook is one of the largest network online having Millions of traffic every day. Facebook has lots of features that makes every human be addicted to it. Helpful even helps other people via communication. I love the free video chat on facebook because this allows me to connect with my love ones abroad. I also love the "live" chatbox that twitter does not have. Facebook also has this application support wherein we can play simple and fun games. We can also create pages, celebrations and even a cause on FB.

    Verdict: Facebook is better than Twitter. In life, Facebook would be like having 80% and 20% for twitter. Such a big gap.

    While I use both, I prefer Twitter. Facebook is a bit cluttered, and Twitter is easier for me to use. The app causes me less trouble than Facebook's does, and to me, Twitter is better to keep up with people. Less people complaining about useless crap, too, part because I don't follow people who know me there, and part because Twitter (thankfully) has a text limit.

    I am a facebook person myself. I just don't see the need for tweeter. With facebook I can for the most part keep up with friends, the job and and local stuff going on. I will admit that I can't stand people that have to post every few minutes but that is just the way it is. If I want to know something, I just go to facebook and I usually have an answer within a few minutes.

    Hello,
    Between Facebook and Twitter, I would have to say Facebook is best. I believe Facebook is the best because they offer plenty of features unlike Twitter. On Facebook you can access games, chat with your friends, share posts, view images, and so many other things. On Twitter you are only offered retweeting, tweeting messages, and a couple of other things. I personally think this question is a no brainer and the answer is, Facebook.

    I prefer facebook because it is much easier for the region to which they belong is the most used social networking site. In addition on facebook find many other useful things for leisure and information ... pages, groups, games, etc ...
