Is Twitter as popular as Facebook all over the world?

    What are your opinions about the Twitter as a social web-site? Should people register here or there are better web-sites to use? Finally, is Facebook more popular than Twitter or not? What do YOU think about that?

    I think that Facebook is the bigger of the two and that could be due to features or the fact that you can actually do stuff on there as opposed to write 160 characters of tripe xD

    PaulTurner1, it's 140 characters.

    Facebook is the most popular one, although I find Twitter much easier to use. Facebook is all about sharing stuff -- pictures, videos etc. while Twitter concentrates on stuff people are doing or have done. It's easier to stay up-to-date than Facebook.

    Facebook is more popular in terms of userbase, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will drive more traffic to your website. It really depends on your userbase.

    For example a huge site like TechCrunch.com has just said they get more hits from Twitter than FB (http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/03/techcrunch-twitter-facebook-rss/)

    That might have to do with the fact that there are many tech-people on Twitter, while, on the other hand there are many n00bs on Facebook too, IMO.

    Twitter is pretty big as well, but Facebook is bigger and receives more traffic.
    But depending on what you're doing, one social network site can be better than the other for promotion - and being connected wise.

    Worldwide, Facebook is still more popular. That might change some day, though.

    Facebook is much more popular. However, twitter gets people to update more and check more.

    Twitter is very special. You need to get used to it. It is not obviously for many beginners what it is for.

    But Facebook is more popular than Twitter.
