    In your opinion what is the difference between Forums and Facebook?
    Which is better out of these two and why?
    Here are some of the points for discussion.
    Forums have more exposure?
    spontaneous & Instant reaction?
    It is for friends only you know or new and many unknown friends?

    In forum you can ask everything you want to know and can get more information from the other people. In facebook you will just revolve around with your known friends and that is always the case.

    Well, I like forums much. Also I don't use FB much.
    A forum is good place to meet people rather than FB where you can talk to your friends only.

    Facebook's good for keeping in contact with many a people.
    Forums are more community like.

    You can gain some knowledge from forums but not in Fb
    In forums You can gain friends with good knowledge to support or help you

    Facebook is just to stay connected with friends :)

    Yes Facebook is only good if you have friends. When you join a forum you have access to talk to all the members immediately. Also forums are better for finding out information faster and for advertising of course.

    I just have to say I don't like FaceBook, I never will probably and I will never open an account there. Don't ask me why I can't explain.

    I personally hate Facebook! You can see that from a post I made a while ago:
    Lolz :D

    So, anyway my opinion on forums:
    I think they are great, they get a lot of people together, and they are used for different purposes...
    You can really discuss different topics, and debate and stuff, while at Facebook the only thing you do is discover personal stuff about you.
    So, you probably guessed by now, I vote for Forums

    Have a nice day,
    Misa Misa
