Social media
Almost everyone participates in it.
And almost everybody that I know...old and young...rich and poor...has a Facebook page. So do my parents.
Everybody isn't into Twitter. I've been on it since 2008. Long before most had even HEARD of Twitter. I used it to communicate with my fellow blogger friends. This was before twitter BLEW UP. There are some similarites between Twitter & Facebook...buy mostly differences. Here are some observations that I've made...
Facebook - largely made up of people you know
Twitter - largely made up of people you don't know
Facebook - consists of people who you went to school with
Twitter - consists of people who you wish that you went to school with
Facebook - status update
Twitter - tweets
Facebook - long paragraphs for updates
Twitter - 140 characters
Facebook - friends
Twitter - followers
Facebook - you can 'LIKE' or 'POKE'
Twitter - trending topics
Facebook - place where people use hashtags (#) for no reason & they don't realize that's a "twitter thing"
Twitter - place where you can use a hashtag in every tweet
Facebook - friend request
Twitter - follow/unfollow
Facebook - place where people "don't understand Twitter"
Twitter - place where people "retweet" every word of their favorite celebrity
Facebook - place where people will allow co-workers to become their friends
Twitter - place where co-workers can't follow
Facebook - Mark Zuckerburg
Twitter - Jack Dorsey
Facebook - advertisements
Twitter - Thong Thursday
Facebook - if you have more than 10 status updates within an hour...you need Twitter
Twitter - if you have a desire to rant about your cause...you need Facebook
You understand now?
This is hilarious. I have to admit I'm guilty of using hashtags in my tweets, BBMs and emails sometimes but only to people who actually get it.
ReplyDeleteLOL Love this!!!
ReplyDeleteI always felt it was a duplication but now I get it. I'm still not getting a twitter account.
ReplyDeleteLOL- Love This...I got on Facebook and Twitter in 2009..just as my blogs were really starting to get popular...and you're right..Most of the blogging family is on Twitter..Which is why I'm on it..but I tend to be on Facebook a lot more...
ReplyDeleteTruth be told...both social networks make me appreciate blogging that much more. LOL!
Thumbs up! Good information with a little bit of 'know how to use' each.
ReplyDeleteTrue @ place where people don't understand Twitter. I must say, both creators are some filthy rich gentlemen, I guarantee.
ReplyDeleteI remember being on Twitter in '08 and, as you stated, it was a ghost town. I once listed Twitter.com under one of my Likes and hardly anyone knew the site.
That said, sometimes I force myself to tweet. Lol.
hahaha this is funny bro!!! a good laugh
