Twitter is used to drive traffic as it capable of more than facebook. But Facebook is a social networking site. You can connect with friends,clients even to unknown people. But I don't think twitter is never been a place to find fun.
Facebook is definitely better than twitter for now but i like twitter as the interface is simple and clean. Facebook is a little too complicated.
i like facebook because that has so many application quiz, chatting, games, photo and video sharing, etc
Well, I think Facebook is the more popular and it is the profile and communication kind of social networking site. It is comparable to Myspace, except Facebook is 20 times better. Twitter is the less-words-more-subscribing kind of of community. I use both and both are great. Twitter is easier to understand than Facebook and it's fun but in my opinion, I think that Facebook is better.
If you have lot of followers your reach is greater, so you would prefer twitter. Similarly, it is based on the numbers game in facebook also, if you have lot of friends who will read your messages, go for facebook.
Twitter has made me money however I think most people use Twitter the wrong way. If you just spam and follow random people so they follow you you're hurting yourself, and your account. Facebook is more professional (if you use it for business) and allows you to stay in closer contact with people. Plus you can advertise using Facebook ads on the side of the site. Overall I think Twitter is easier and faster to use, but has a ton of spam which makes it extremely hard to find the actual real good content (which is why you shouldn't just randomly follow people). I use them both for business and both have made me money. However both must be used 2 different ways. Chris.
