Depends on what you're aiming at - do you want to share big pictures and connect yourself to groups and communities, then you should try G+. If you want to get rapidly news and share and communicate quick over the world, then Twitter will be your best friend.
I would rather say that Twitter is more like a Branding Tool - you'll gain reach by getting retweets.. In G+ I can hardly realize any engagement like this..
Frist of all Twitter is older than google+ so it has automatically more users. Then it is the Facebook factor...and third is the mass media thing that promoted Twitter and Facebook much more than G+.
I prefer google+ by sharing the products by sending mails to our friends also there its a nice feature to make the product deliver at their doorstep. Twitter also nice to use and followers is the important in that
But age is not the only factor, as you can clearly see at the example of Instagram or Pinterest or even Tumblr, which are growing with a huge pace.
Google plus and twitter are different. Twitter aren't really for sharing long posts. I think it's for ranting, or being quickly updated from those person/group you follow.
Twitter's a lot better, been around much longer, way more people using it. I just like the way it works better..having followers and all that. ^_^
Twitter is the world's largest Micro-Blogging platform and Google+ is one of the best social networks. Twitter is better for a brand promotion and Google+ is good for search engine promotions.
Hey tanyasmith20, Both sites are useful in different aspects, twitter is useful for some features and G+ have its own feature for which twitter can not beat it. I think we have no need to compare, as we can take benefits of features of both G+ and twitter..
