    Facebook. I have more visitors that comes to my blogs and websites from FB fan pages. I think you can get more personal with people by building a loyal following on a fan page. Making sure that you are blending in a personal feel rather than just all business. I think tweets just lost in the shuffle. The nice thing about having a FB fan page is you can have a post sent to Twitter which could draw traffic to your fan page and then to your blog/website.

    It should not be Twitter OR Facebook, but Twitter AND Facebook.
    Combined, they're a powerful traffic driving system.

    It's easy enough to do both. There are several free programs which will let you update once to both of them. That way people that only have one and not the other can still follow you.

    I also go for Facebook. People seems to get connected easily since they can communicate through posting comments, liking pages, etc..With Twitter you only get to follow but no feeling of personal connection. ;)

    Twitter and facebook are two very different applications. I doubt i could choose one over the other. What we need here are ways to make the two better compliment each other..

    Twitter can generate more traffic than facebook..........But i highly recommend SU because it sends traffic than twitter and facebook can make....

    It is my second source of traffic for my blog :D

    but if you are looking for long term traffic SEO is the best......

    E-Commerce Opinion (Not for everyone)

    Facebook is easier and more user friendly than twitter if your looking to build relationships with your customers. However I'll say twitter has a two very simple advantages over FB, once you build your fan base.

    1. Twitter is quick and easy when posting tweets to announce sales or discounts. We like to throw out 1 day discounts or unbelievable 1 hour sales to make things fun and interesting.

    2. BackLinks - Now we are not sure how heavy they weigh in with SERP, but tweets show up all over the internet from our customers as well as from us.

    Either way this was is a interesting topic!
    Great Thread

    I agree that knowing how to use both twitter and facebook are key and could bring a larger volume of both traffic and business if you use them correctly

    Facebook has an app developed by twitter that syncs the two services, and update on both site when you post on twitter or use twitter's app on facebook.
