I like Facebook for personal use (although I am looking to create a business/fan page soon) and twitter for business. I've tried Twitter for personal use, but it just wasn't the business. Very boring. Maybe because my main circle didn't have Twitter accounts at the time.
Both facebook and twitter has their own aspects , if i am talking about twitter it is good to promote your brand ,where facebook is mainly for keep in touch with other competitor's or relevant's people groups ,also u can create your business/product/services fan page to promote .
As far as professional use, I like both of them as soon as they bring traffic to a site. I find that I get easier followers in twitter than I get fan / likes in facebook. As far as personal use, I prefer Facebook.
I use Facebook to create pages before a website is made to see if there is interest in a topic. I pay a few dollars to gain fans to the page. If it doesn't get many fans I stop. One page has 255 fans and now I slowly start to try and get them to interact with the website that corresponds with that page. Some pages will grow slowly on there on depending on the topic and how you get the fans to interact with the page. Personally I do think Facebook is a big waste of time but I do use it to push traffic to my websites. I haven't had much success with twitter but I do make an account and tweet some links to relevant pages or news about my websites. It's hard to do everything!
Not a waste of time really if you just do productive with it. Yes, Facebook page is the most important tool to bring your business/market up! You just only needs to get lots of fans that are targeted and then boom, you got your business on the top. Same with twitter....
I use them both. Facebook appeals to people looking to reconnect with old friends and family members or find new friends online and Twitter on the other hand, encourages you grab ideals in byte-size chunks and use your updates as jumping off points to other places or just let others know what you’re up to at any given moment.
I use both site but I prefer to use Facebook that Twitter. Facebook is best because I can do all things here and can easily search for old friends.
Hey I think this is era of social networking sites... They are growing very fast have a huge number of user... It play a great role to generate traffic toward your site and helps in boasting page rank of your website... You can also promote your products,services,business and website... simple post the updates of your things in your account and create a fan page....
