Hello friends,

I sure that that is an interesting question and I think that more people will choose facbook is the best for you but for me, I will choose Twitter because Twitter brings me more customers and traffic than Facebook.

What about you ? Facebook vs Twitter, which is better ?

    Hi,
    In my opinion Facebook is much better then Twitter.
    The reason is that Facebook is popular among every age group, so you get huge audience for your product or website.

      Facebook without question.

      I still don't get why "average" people use Twitter.

      It only makes sense to me if you're a celebrity or a marketer like us trying to sell to these "average" people.

      By average I just mean average everyday people.

          You can 'find' people to follow you back based on interest. This isn't so easy with Facebook or at least the solution evades me, and the OP, according to his query.
          Yeah and how many visitors are your articles getting from those 500 followers? I'll guess it's a number between 0 and 10.

          Yes, its a little more difficult to get things going on Facebook but who cares?

          When you're getting thousands of visitors a day and making thousands per month, you won't even be thinking about how difficult it may have been in the beginning.

          You just need to accept the fact that in order to succeed, you have to learn new skills.

          Facebook marketing should definitely be one of them.

          Twitter traffic is garbage. Unless you have hundreds of thousands of real followers

              I agree it's important to learn new SEO and Marketing skills so maybe you can part with some advice as to how to achieve a popular FB page?
              I doubt it's coming from those 500 followers. It could be a combination of things from twitter.

              But I could be wrong.

              I'm just going by my own stats.

              And out of 227,000 visits in the last 30 days, Twitter accounted for a whopping 231 from 971 followers and hundreds of retweets of my posts.

                Similar experience here.

                I'm using Twitter only to stay in touch with already hooked up visitors. Seems they like it, and I don't mind spending a few minutes a day on them to keep them reminded of me. I don't even have any hopes of getting some serious traffic via that platform.

                  this different to me, I got more views from Twitter, even sales via Twitter for my forum. Thus, for me, I always vote Twitter is my number 1 social networks.

            I agree, Facebook is better in my opinion....

            But I do know a guy that is pretty much a Twitter genius...

            That isn't even in Internet Marketing...

            And each tweet to his site gets around 1,500 views (10,000 followers).

            Those ARE some pretty good numbers imo.

            But overall, yeah Facebook takes it for most.

            Explain how Twitter traffic is garbage? It's what converts that counts.

            Keep opinions like that to yourself.

        I personally couldn't agree more. I think a lot of people would still choose to sell their stuff on Facebook for obvious reasons - it's visually more interesting and appealing that Twitter. You can also customize your post on Facebook as to how you would want people to see it as compared to Twitter wherein you only get to see a very short introduction and then a link to it. If you're lucky, you might also get a photo along with the post to give you an idea of what you're getting into.

      Don't you hate that. The Big G loves to ban folks for almost any reason now days.

      /rant off

      Believe it or not I've not lost an adsense account or had a site delisted, but have a lot of friends who have. Just used to LOVE Google and they've changed so much over the years.

      Back on topic. I have a decent sized twitter following but it seems most folks on twitter are not that engaged with it. On FB, people are online there a LOT. There's a high percentage of people in all age groups who are certifiably addicted to FB. To me, that makes a much more fruitful advertising base.

    I would say Facebook hands down completely! FB is very user friendly and there are many ways that you can use it to increase your email subscribers list. You can use FB groups, Fanpages or use their CPC or CPM Models. Are you doing list building with twitter?

    Organic or paid? I think both platforms are now increasingly accurate with targeting on the paid side. On the organic side it has to be Twitter that is my preference purely because you can respond to someone's tweet and jump straight into conversation even if they don't follow you.

    For e.g. you sell SEO services and search twitter for latest genuine seo queries. It's a great way to build relationships. This just isn't possible on Facebook due to privacy settings.

    On the paid side however, the reach you can get from Facebook is incredible.

    One more thing, Twitter is excellent for PR. All the journalists are on it and very active. Just search for the hashtag #journorequest and see for yourself!

    I would say Facebook is #1, it has a few more advantages: For example videos. They're becoming more and more important because they can easily entertain and mostly doesn't require any efforts like understanding written words or something. Like I you can see here about facts about online video, Facebook is now number two after YouTube in terms of unique video viewers. That shows the importance of videos - and twitter tries to keep up with Vine.

    Twitter has only about 0.2 billion active users, from which a majority are unfortunately spammers.

          I use both facebook and twitter for my consumer oriented niche health site. I started with twitter almost exclusively and built the page to over 50,000. I thought it was doing great, but google analytics showed me that very few people were clicking through on links to articles...like 10 per tweet. Then, I concentrated on facebook. The click throughs skyrocketed. I now have over 108,000 and each post brings hundreds or thousands. The key with Facebook is maintaining high engagement. Mine is 113,000, but it can go up or down within a few days. I tied my facebook to twitter, so everything on facebook posts to twitter. With twitter, I was highly engaged, posting back and forth with huge Interaction responses, but the click throughs never approached Facebook.

      I don't think that Facebook and Twitter can be compared in any way. They're not even close neither by popularity, members or features. I believe Twitter has its own advantages, but I prefer Facebook.

      @quizfactz - every second thread in this part of the forum is about popularizing Facebook pages, getting more likes, fans, followers etc. but basically it is up to you to see what will work for you the best

    It is time to check in on the battle between Facebook and Twitter for dominance of the social media LOL. I like Facebook and Twitter both, with a slight edge to Twitter for it value as a news source and as a vehicle for B2B and B2C. Facebook does so well with the former. But instead of these two, my choice is Google+ which combines the best of both worlds and comes with built in SEO.
    Thanks !

        I get more traffic from facebook but I like using Twitter as well. Facebook doesn't want you to meet new people so I find it hard to get new followers without spending. Twitter I can send out 200 targeted emails a day for free so that is pretty cool. I get a few new fans a month on FB but can get as many new followers on twitter as I want.

        I think my twitter account is hacked though

    For business and advertising, I think Twitter is more effective. More business owners are active on Twitter.

    There's no reason to choose. Both networks have huge audiences and, regardless of your business, it's very likely segments of your market use both networks. Learn the proper etiquette of each network and combine their strengths. If you're doing any type of content marketing (and you should be), you would be stupid not to use both networks.

    Aside from that, there's a lot of really bad advice from some people in this thread. If you're impression of Twitter is still that it's only for celebrities or people wanting to broadcast every minute event in their life like brushing their teeth, you really shouldn't be giving advice about social media marketing. That was decent advice 2007; it's terrible advice now.

    There is an incredible amount of substantive discussion on Twitter. There are tons of business opportunities on Twitter. It is, by far, a much better method of spreading your content quickly. It is quite a lot easier to grow an audience, because Twitter is extremely open compared to Facebook.

    Twitter is absolutely not just for celebrities any more and it's not a feed of mindless updates anymore, assuming it ever was.

    Perhaps for you. For me, it is one of the highest drivers of traffic and they stay on the site just as long as visitors from Facebook.

    I have 1,300 followers -- such is the beauty of Twitter. You don't need hundreds of thousands of followers to make an impact anymore than you need hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook to make an impact. The ability to share via retweet increases reach of updates very easily and quickly.

      You must not be dealing with the same kind of traffic numbers as me. I could be mistaken but for you to say that Twitter is your highest source of traffic tells me you don't get very much traffic from anywhere else or at all.

      For Twitter to be your largest source of traffic and from only 1300 followers leads me to believe that you don't get much of any traffic from anywhere else, let alone much from twitter itself.

      Facebook is a traffic powerhouse if you know how to use it properly.

      I could be mistaken, but thats' just what i'm seeing from running a super high traffic authority site.

    I think facebook is better than twitter.Facebook appeals to people looking to reconnect with old friends and family members or find new friends online; the mashup of features like email, instant messaging, image and video sharing, etc. feels familiar, while Twitter is a bit harder to get your arms around at first.

    It depends on what you're selling, and where your audience hangs out.

    For us, for instance, we sell customer referral programs to businesses and marketers. Most of these people are easier to reach on Twitter than on Facebook. So Twitter gives us a much better ROI.

    Facebook is better for reaching "regular" consumers- if you're selling dresses or shoes, for instance, or Oreos.

    Know thyself, know thy product, and know ye audience!

  • I prefer FB... I use/ have both but the average person on fb may have between 100-200 friends and may like a few pages but if you are on twitter most people are following hundreds - thousands of people so your news feed is forever ticking over, and who scrolls their twitter news feed.. not me so its harder for people to see what your saying, promoting etc where as on FB your fan base are more likely to see what you have to say.. Plus you cant really having a meaning conversation on twitter..

      Interesting back and forth.

      I launched a new site 3 weeks ago and have been integrating all social media.

      I do social media duties on a daily basis. I've added 50 people on twitter almost daily.

      What is interesting...

      The top 3 social media referrals based on google analytics are:

      1. LinkedIn

      2. Facebook (however, I wasn't using a facebook fan page, but my own personal. And I only mentioned my page 2 times out of 20 posts. So I'm sure this would be #1 if i posted to my personal every day.)

      3. Google Plus.

      Twitter.... isn't even in my top 15 traffic referrals in my google analytics.

      And as other people have mentioned there are a lot of fake accounts and DM's aren't read in my personal experience.

      Thought I would share this. I'm sure others may differ. But Twitter is a large uphill grind with little ROI in terms of time commitment that could be allocated to other social media for me personally.

      I still have twitter automatically tweet for me my blog posts for seo, but other than that... I think i have to put twitter to rest.

      Good question Twitter has more brand appeal than facebook. Most big name musicians, athletes, entertainers etc prefer twitter. There's a reason for that, and twitter is just straight to the point. It only allows you 140 characters, so you have to think and not beat around the bush when writing your status.

      As it's said, facebook is like your living room and twitter is like the bar. If you have a lot to say and want to more engage your group, then facebook is for you. If you do shorter updates and want to respond more in a live chat type of way, then twitter is for you. And, facebook is too time consuming dealing with comments, likes, being tagged, added to groups without your permission, getting a million game invites lol, and the usual 100 "like my page invites" (from the same person ).

      However, I have tested it. When it comes to sales, facebook does beat twitter hands down, I've made more sales on facebook than on twitter, and that's just with recommending through my status updates and not doing it through FB ads, so you will get more response because it get's people talking and joining in on the conversation, which pulls more attention overtime.

      Most people however, prefer going to their favorite brands twitter profile before they do on facebook. That's why you usually see twitter being promoted everywhere. ofcourse it's wise to do both to reach a wider audience, but I'm a ole' school twitter head. Better for branding and making things go viral. Didn't facebook just copy twitter with the #hashtags? Just kidding

You have many different ways to use it - posts, pages, groups, ads etc. I've also noticed that on Twitter more people are trying to just get their message out and ignoring everyone else, while on Facebook people are actually reading the posts. That's just my experience...

    It's not about selling on social, it's about bringing together a group of people (Facebook) that have similar interests or interacting with people on twitter based on similar interests and conversations.

    Which is better? I agree with ReferralCandy- it depends on what your niche is.
    There's no right answer.

    Is pinterest better than both of those? Maybe for interior design, baby stuff or fashion but certainly not for everything.

But unfortunately twitter is trigger happy at deleting accounts which makes it probably better or a bit safer to use Facebook ... :-)

    I guess the reason that you get more customers and traffic through twitter than Facebook is that you may more time on twitter, am I right?

    Twitter is the most effective way to post your information, because you just need to type several lines and then you can finish posting your information. However, I like Facebook more than twitter because facebook allows us post information in details and facebook give us more options to communicate with our friends.

    Social media trend is the most effective tool to spread your news and reach millions of people in no time. There are many sites leveraging day by day, but I'd focus on 2 major sites-
    Facebook and
    Twitter

    Why most people fail to benefit from social media campaigns?
    I'm a sufferer and learned from failed attempts. That's why I can share my story to make you build better audience. Most campaigns do fail due to improper planning, over usage, untargeted audience and poor landing pages. I heard many people investing a lot of money for social promotions that resulted in digging their pockets.

    Facebook overhaul: If you take a look at FB pages, you'll find hundreds of fanpages having 50,000+ fans. But how many get conversions? Probably less than 5%. That means 95% people are loosing bucks.
    Once a people contacted me to sell his page with 150,000 fans. He wanted to sell because he can't make a penny from it.
    There are lots of pages you'll find thousands of fans, but 0 interaction, no people like or comment on it.

    Twitter overhaul: Same goes for twitter. Most of massive twitter follower-base profiles go without earning. About hundreds cheap fiverr gigs are available who want to tweet to their 100,000+ followers for 5 bucks.
    Once I used one of them, that resulted me only 2 clicks. Holy gossss.
    Most twitter users suffer from this scenario.

    Which one wins?
    To get fans is not easy, you've to do lots of works. You can use exchange services, but facebook frequently bans such pages.
    Comparatively its easy to get twitter followers. There are handy software that can give you targeted followers, damn cheaper than facebook ads. And twitter exchange programs really work fine. Twitter directories work great to gain targeted followers.

    Next one is placing links. how many links you can post on FB? Probably very few, if you post more 2-3 links at a time, FB will block you.
    But you can post min 20 links on twitter without getting boiled. And most important key is you can post same link over and over 2-3 times a day. If it happens for FB, fans will leave and FB may blacklist you.

    Getting traffic: Facebook drives quick traffic for photos, not for all links. 1%-5% CTR is very common for fanpages while some act very poor.
    Twitter CTR is reasonably low, ideally we expect 0.5%-1.5% and it depends on 140 letters quality. But you can tweet same link 5-10 times, means 5-10 times traffic to your site.

    I'm writing my words. And like to know what others see outcomes from these 2 giant networks.

    Both have their place. If you aren't using one you're missing out on a big chunk of traffic. Even if you only spend a few minutes per day on the one that you feel is "less better". It can still make enough of a difference to spend those extra couple minutes.

      Great point that you have made. When you use a variety of social media, you are more likely to hit a larger section of an audience than if you only use one. Even if you can not be on it daily, it does pay to make an account and use it once in a while.

    At the end of the day, our preferences don't matter. What does matter is where your target market is - and where you're merchants, brands & market leaders are.

    Someone asked earlier why an average person would even use Twitter. The answer: because mainstream media is constantly encouraging it. Just turn on the TV and watch the hashtags flying all over the place!

    If you're targeting a female audience, you need to be on Pinterest. Male/Tech, Google+. If you have a service-based business or target Professionals: LinkedIn. Want to network with brands and/or get sponsors & paid blogging opps: Twitter.

    So it's less about your preferences, and more about serving your market, as well as your specific objective.

    Facebook for me. I have used both for marketing my site but I found Facebook traffic to be much higher quality, and I found it easier to get traffic too. Facebook fan pages are a lot easier to promote than Twitter accounts, and you can reach out to so many people. You can take advantage of viral photo's too, and hold competitions a lot easier as well. Don't completely ignore Twitter though, it is useful too.

    There's SO much you can do to build your business on various social channels - much more than just "selling" to your followers. Including connecting with brands, merchants, affiliates & JV partners, market leaders / influencers, etc.

    You may not see a high (direct) conversion rate on Twitter for example, but what if a major brand promotes your offer to their thousands of Facebook Fans (totally unsolicited highly targeted FREE advertising) based on a Tweet they saw because you used the right hashtag? This is from my own personal experience, and has happened more than once.

    EVERY social channel has huge potential. It's a matter of using it correctly, and having a specific objective that strategically grows your business.

    OK in my opinion you should be taking advantage of as many traffic getting methods as you can. Both Facebook and twitter have their own merits, and if you are merely using either or both for social bookmarking purposes, you won't lose out.

    I for one take advantage of these and others social sites with no great investment of my time.
    I guess my answer is used judiciously both are of value, and you don't need to spend too much time in analysis of these two.

    Just take the traffic they give you......

    Facebook is definitely bigger and everything, but Twitter does offer marketers more freedom when it comes to approaching potential followers: it doesn't restrict you from talking to users who aren't following you yet.

    Both Facebook and Twitter have distinct advantages and disadvantages, so in marketing they should be use to complement each other, and not a one vs other choice. There are people on Twitter who are not avid Facebook users and vice versa. Therefore to get to both crowds, you need to have marketing strategies for both FB and Twitter. My humble opinion.

    They are quite different social networks. And it is difficult to say which one is better. It should depend on your needs and thus you can decide which is better for you. It is not possible to judge from outside.
    I personally do not use Twitter, but plenty of my friends like it. And I rarely use Facebook (but I used to use it a lot before), I just got tired of Internet communication. I prefer it in real life now

    Facebook to Twitter is like apples and oranges. It really depends on your objective.

    I personally don't spend much time on Facebook. Nor does my company spend much energy advertising on there. Why? Because Facebook is purely a consumer network where as a marketer, what you are trying to do, is intrude on individuals' personal communication with their friends and family. Granted, Facebook is becoming incredibly accurate at targeting demographics with ads, but it will always be a place where people are AVOIDING hearing from you and looking at your ads.

    On the other hand, Twitter, while its user base is not as large, and it's not quite as sophisticated at targeting ads, it is much more natural to be marketed to when you're on there. What you may not realize is that people are increasingly using twitter as a source of information - what articles to read, what news just broke, etc. I've never experienced another service that, when i see an ad (in this case a sponsored tweet), i actually read them, because they're so natural to what I'm already doing on Twitter.

    The only service that trumps Twitter's ability to naturally market to its audience is the big G. People go to Google to find things, so being advertised to, and in turn helping people more easily find what they were searching for (adwords) will always be king in internet marketing.

    As a general rule of thumb, if you're advertising to consumers, Facebook may seem like the place to do so, but in the long run you're likely going to have more success engaging with and marketing to an audience that wants to be engaged with - such as Twitter.

      Are you making these claims based on your own experience marketing on Facebook?

      I can tell you from personal experience and from the experiences of people I mastermind with that people on Facebook do not "AVOID" looking at your ads. They are on Facebook TO be engaged. And they will buy or take whatever action it is you want them to take if you put the right offer in front of them.

      At least they do from me and countless others - says my ROI.

      Maybe you weren't doing it right. Either way if you don't use Facebook as one of your marketing channels you are leaving A LOT of money on the table.

          You're right about B2C

          I haven't tried B2B yet, but I'm sure I could get it to work. Just remember, decision makers for companies spend almost as much time on Facebook throughout the day as regular consumers.

          You just have to figure out the angle that will at least get you to break even, then work from there.

          And when you said you tried it before, how much money did you throw at it in FB ads?

  • From our research, if you are talking about conversions, Facebook converts 1-5%, Twitter converts 1-3%. We are in the bar/restaurant vertical, so keep that in mind. These are the numbers to convert people to a physical location. Mobile coupons convert in the 10-25% range. You would need to organically generate your own Opt-In list to send out those coupons and/or contacts via text. More work but better results.

    I use both. The main reason for me using them are for backlinks to my content. Facebook feels more personal.

    It is quite difficult to draw comparison between Facebook and Twitter, Both Facebook & Twitter has there own benefits & Limitation. On one hand where Face book offer you reach your audience through social media business page, get instant feedback regarding your products, service, sharing etc. On other hand Twitter provide platform for increasing your follower, re-tweeting facilities etc. Choosing of Facebook or Twitter does depend on the Geographics region of your country. what people or audience prefer over the other.

    Two different animals which serves different purposes. I find myself on FB most of the time because it is more content driven. IMO FB is great for B2C advertising-that's if your clients are individual consumers. If you are B2B, Twitter "may" benefit you more. I say use both and link the two accounts. Post on FB and it will auto tweet. Can't really compare the two at this point. We'll see which one is better once Twitter goes public(IPO).

    Interesting demographics by BI Intelligence. If your looking for an audience with money, 73% of FB users report income in excess of $75k. Twitter users, less than 8% reach that level. OTOH, Twitter is trending younger with 27% between 18 & 29 (vs. 30-40s only 8%). End of the day, I'd use Twitter to support and build buzz but Facebook to seal the deal.

    When we think of Facebook, first thing that comes in mind is images, videos, likes, comments, interactions, etc. With Twitter, points that strike are 140 characters, new updates, latest updates, followers, tweets, etc. There is a link between these two social media sites and that is the use of "Hashtags" which was introduced recently.

    Both are at the top and trending today in social media. Both rock in their own ways.

    Hi, Twitter and FaceBook have both been gaining so much popularity. A lot of people would argue that Twitter is better than FaceBook, while others prefer FaceBook over Twitter. I am a huge fan and user of both social media platforms. Twitter drives the most traffic of all the major social networks ! A study showed that shares made on Twitter trigger, on average, 33 visits to websites, compared to 14 for Facebook and 10 for LinkedIn. I can confirm this fact, as I study everyday's clicks on this blog - and the majority of visitors come from Twitter. Twitter is better than Facebook because I feel as if a lot more people now have a Twitter. At one point Facebook was popular but then people switched over to Twitter because people are able to post pretty much whatever they want. And say almost anything that they want. Also, it is also much simpler so its easier for the adults who do use it. Have a nice day

    Facebook. THere is nothing better than having a truthful fan community around a certain topic on Facebook. Twitter is much more limited concerning the options you have to build a lasting relationship with your fans. Furthermore, twitter doesn't allow to buy followers legally. In case of Facebook, you can purchase "likes" and take your business to your next level. Content goes also more viral on Facebook than on Twitter.

      No way. Thor's abilities come from magic, whereas Superman's come from the sun. It's easier to stop magic (with equally powerful science) than it is to eliminate the center of our solar system.

    In my opinion both social networking site have their own importance we can not compare each other as their format is completely different as on twitter their is some limitation of words on post where as there is no word limit on facebook for post and comment and there is some limited access and restriction on twitter, but these things are very lees on facebook in comparison to twitter. If we talk about traffic from these two sits i think twitter provides more traffic in comparison to facebook because of its restriction on word limit that is why it only provide the specific description for detailed description we need to follow the link so most of the time people make their tweet attractive so that user can follow the link whereas on facebook their is lots of thing is their without any restriction so it is difficult to make a post unique and attractive enough to draw the traffic.

    Generally they are both perfect if you know which one where and how to use. They are both good for different areas and you can benefit from them differently. Twitter is more for sharing short texts. If you have a news or some phrases to share twitter can get you better results by tweeting, use it as rss feed. For other stuffs use facebook. You also can use twitter to tweet your facebook posts. The audience that you can reach in both may be different. That's why if you use both in the right way, you will be able to benefit from both and reach audiences in both that you may not be able to reach at only one of them. Differ both from each other.

    I've been seeing more action - retweets, follows, favorites, traffic - from Twitter over the past month. About zero from Facebook, even from a page with 14k followers.

    I LOVE the simplicity of Twitter and the streamlined look. I plan to use it to help sell my Amazon books.

    Plus with 4756385656439 users, Facebook is too full of people. I choose to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond with Twitter, instead of a single-celled organism in an ocean with Facebook.

    Of course, you can link them all from one dashboard...

      Maybe this is true since Facebook is more for the 20+ crowd (lots of parents in there too) and many kids don't want to hang out on a site where mom and dad is. That's why Twitter and these other sites including Instagram are picking up in popularity.

    It depends what you are using it for.... Twitter is more basic than Facebook. With Facebook you can do many things that can't be done with twitter. I guess they both have their uses.

  • I personally have more success with Facebook than Twitter, I guess it is because the interaction is more visual and therefore a post has the potential to go viral.

    Once can be much more detailed with Facebook whereas Twitter is more concise. Also, tweets can be shown on one's Facebook page, so I think Facebook is more all-encompassing.

    Yestyle, good question. Our marketing group recommends that the signature you post in your content include your Facebook address for people to click on or copy and paste.

    Think about it, when you connect with people on facebook, you also connect with their friends! If you post on their timeline, their friends will potentially see the content - and the average person has 150 friends!

    Have a fantastic day!

    Facebook is better than twitter .Facebook gets an A+ for network reach, with 1.15 billion active users that share 4.75 billion items daily.

    Facebook allows you to share a lot more information at a glance than Twitter does. You can imbed images, videos, and even create interactive pages.

    Facebook is also a great place to offer colorful coupons, article excerpts, and incentives such as "like" our page and get 10% off or we will "like" you back.

  • With Facebook you can build more of a relationship with your prospects and customers, which will turn them into more of a life long customer if done right.

    Where as Twitter is more of waving hello to people, it will drive a lot of traffic and make a few sales but that's it pretty much a drive by. Now if you can drive them back to facebook have them like your page, then you can target them on both platforms.

    But hands down Facebook is better and for many reasons.

    This isn't a fair question, really. It's like "Apples or oranges?" They are two different things. If you're going to have to choose only one thing for some reason, then Facebook all the way (to the bank!) but if there's no reason you can't have a twitter account as well then have both. Depending on your niche, you can really get a lot of bang for your buck.

    It would have to be Facebook, although for a complete campaign I would not avoid using Twitter totally. It almost depends on your niche, but I would expect most marketers and businesses to get more out of Facebook every time. The proof is in the pudding - I've had leads and reasonable traffic from both, so I wouldn't choose one over the other unless your time is very limited.

    For personal use, I have always seen Facebook being the best and to me, Twitter isn't even a comparison. Unfortunately when it comes to business, both have pros and cons. I have found that businesses starting up on social media get a lot more traffic via Twitter. It seems like it takes twice as long to build up a page on Facebook versus on Twitter. Like someone already mentioned, a lot of the people that respond, follow you, and etc. are spam or aren't valid/reputable pages. It is important to be on both to reach out to different types of audiences, and it is also nice to not have a word limit on Facebook. It's also important to get the word of your pages out through people you know, and have ones that have an influence in your industry to pass it along...the old 'word of mouth' sometimes works better than paying for followers.

    I see a lot of people saying Facebook, so i will play devils advocate here and side with Twitter

    Here are the facts

    Twitters IPO did much better than Facebook. Its IPO per share valuation almost double in the first 24 hours.
    Twitter has much more room for growth. Twitter is respectively just getting started
    Twitters share of Mobile Platform was 70%
    Twitters Advertising is much more user friendly because it focuses on engagement rather than clicks or views
    Facebook has become more of an anti-social network lately...i digress on that one
    Twitter spends more of its revenue on R and D than any other social network platform


    There are other reasons but I will leave it at that. Just another viewpoint on the discussion

    Facebook and Twitter isn't a good comparison. Both can make you money, but FB is hot right now and every marketer knows.

    You can generate money with Twitter, but you have to get interactive with the community; and stop hyper-posting your affiliate links. Twitter is more like a cat, you have to earn its respect.

    Now, if you want to spark a real conversation, compare Facebook to Google+ and take a pulse of the market. The Big G is the silent killer. So remember this, when everyone is going right... the future is left. (There's opportunity here for the smart marketer.)

    I think Facebook have some advantage over twitter that Facebook have more trust between friends so that when you promote a product there you are most likely to get results with Facebook. However it all depends on your own behavior on those social websites, how many followers or friends you have and the amount of engagement you have. you have to test by your own to see which one is better for you.

      The trust element is a huge factor with online audiences. When you can establish trust with the people you are marketing to, you have a better chance of converting into traffic/sales. These people want useful information that enriches their lives. And, friends are perfect for sharing with online as they are more likely to listen to what you have to say.

    Twitter is a great tool to reach people and make them aware of your brand. Here are some tips to get you going:
    1. Define Market
    Your tweets won't work in a scattered community. Identify your audience and engage with them.
    2. Follow others
    Following others will help you get more followers. You will also have to follow the right people or brands. Three types of people you should be following are Potential Clients, People who will spread your message and your rivals.
    3. Test
    Test and experiment with different techniques and strategies. You will be learning at the same time finding out what works best for you.

    Twitter is definitely easier for generating followers. But the disadvantage is that since the newsfeed flows so fast, your tweet is likely to completely disappear within an hour after you post it, therefore it requires much more energy to remain relevant.

    Facebook has more diversified ways of presenting your message, and the newsfeed moves much slower. But the hard part is to generate "likes" or followers. If you have a good base on Facebook, I would say Facebook is better.

      With only 140 characters to get your point across it's kind of difficult to fully disclose of your benefits to your offer in Twitter. Where as Facebook has the ability to post ad pics that are more visual.

      One benefit however to Twitter is that it is free unless you opt in to use ads on their network. If you know the precise method you can get your clicks down to 0.01 on Facebook which should help recoup some of your spending.

      I find that with Facebook you have a better chance of going viral because of the like and share component of Facebook. Re-Tweets can catch on but likes on people's pages can go viral a lot quicker.

    I had an account on twitter years ago preferring Facebook, decided to check them out again as back when I first started I found Twitter very hard to use or understand..
    As I no longer use the email account I originally signed up with and couldn't remember my sign in details..weeks later twitter support inform me they could not help, suggesting I open a new account.
    Opening a new account is no easy task, I click on the signup link and it takes me to a page with 2 cellphones with no way to signup..
    Not user friendly at all if new members have difficulty in creating a new account/signup.

    Facebook is #1 in my book.

    Hi guys,

    More me facebook is off the chart,

    Here are few tips which I am using for all my 10 pages and my fan following is growing and growing. Hope you'd find it helpful.

    Legit Tips:

    1. Change your Facebook page URL:

    Well first of all you should change your facebook page URL to a custom URL something Like this facebook.com/yourcustomURL.

    2. Customize your page like a professional:

    This one is must, Only having a facebook fan page is not enough for your blog/website/business, you got to do same serious customization like...

    a) Creating a cool looking timeline pic
    b) Add other socail media Tabs like twitter and youtube.
    c) Sign Up form so that people can subscribe to your email list. In this way, you can also build your Email List.
    d) Add "Visit My blog or website" custom tab
    e) Write description about page and do forget to add your blog and website URL in that and Make it sort and precise.

    3. Post during Peak hours:

    I mean how can you expect someone to like your page when they are sleeping or doing other stuff ????

    To find out the "peak hour", post 2 and 3 content at different time and check on what time your post is getting more responce. Note that time and try to post only that time.

    4. Be consistent.

    If you are posting only one post per day, make sure do that because it may be chance that your followers are waiting for your content.

    5. Do not buy facebook likes:

    Now if you want to promote your page.....do it in legit way. Hire facebook page....hahahaha Good line "Hire facebook"...okay hire facebook to promote your page.

    I promoted my 3 pages using facebook and i can tell that its really cheap(100 likes for only 1 dollar) and your going to get quality followers.

    6. End your post with ?????

    Yes this always works, end your post with one or two questions and let your followers answer then.

    You'd see that sometime your one post can create one "war room" where your followers are fighting with each and other......and you are going to love that .

    2.Tricks :

    Now as you know, "too much honesty can kill you", its time to learn some tricks.

    I think you have already heard about like exchange websites....if not simply search on Google.

    If you are using any of these website, here is one tips that you may find interesting.

    As you know all like exchange website are providing affiliat program and they are asking you to share their links on facebook, twitter, google.....blah blah...

    just share that link on your facebook account and then add that post to those website for sharing. got my point or not ,

    okay let me explain one more time.

    Whatever like exchange website you are using right now, it is also giving you their affiliat program...right?

    Share your affiliat program on your facebook timeline and then add this post to your like exchange website for sharing....now two thing is going to happen.

    1. if someone is going to sign up through you post, you'd get extra points for it.
    2. Other people are sharing your stuff so it may be chance that their friends are going to like you page.


    Ohhh boyyyy, I can't believe, I have written this much.....okay guys one more

    Last Tip

    if you'd face any problem during your facebook page customization, you can visit my blog because i have written everything which you are going to need for your page customization. And the best thing is, you can customize your page for FREE by using my methods.

    Hope you liked it.

    Have a nice day.

    Facebook and Twitter Go Hand In Hand if you really want to succeed in getting traffic in social media marketing.

    For me both get subscribers daily and are working wonderfully well. THe only difference in pproach that I suggest is -

    1. Facebook - Use More Pictures in your posts.
    2. Twitter - Use Youtube Videos more than pictures in tweets.

    This way it is working great for me!

    Both are the best Social media site and both are very effective for all social media users. Some times ago Facebook is more popular then Twitter but Facebook lose his Fan Following and Twitter become more popular. Now Twitter has PR10 and Facebook has PR9. So we cannot say that one is better but both are better.

    Instead of asking "Which is better?" I'd rather see a great breakdown on how to use, say Twitter, to drive website traffic.

    For example, back in 2008, I'd get a 30% re-follow and 10% of them would opt-in to one of my sites. Times have changed. Now I see folks using auto favorites and the like.

    Anyway, I'd love to see a good up-to-date primer.

    I have found twitter good for starting high-level relationships. Like the guy I interviewed and established relationship with that sold his business for $100,000,000. Twitter currently has helped me target a number of relationships like that which are not possible on Facebook.

    I say Twitter myself. Apart from the fact that I'm told Zuckerberg is an odious little prat (I've never met him, but trusted friends have), I don't like that you have to go through so many hoops to friend someone, to post things and to do all sorts of other things essential for marketing on faceache. Obviously, the 140 character limit on Twitter is a bit of a drag too, but at least they don't have the Internet equivalent of the Spetsnaz hauling you up every time you do too much friending or liking.

    Of course, as with all things online and elsewhere, you have to be careful not to let your activities go beyond the pale - don't break any laws, don't spam, don't generally piss people off - but I like the more "Californian hippy" approach of Twitter. And because I'm not always looking over my shoulder for a snarling Stazi, I can concentrate on my job.

    Good question and you'll get a ton of different answers as everyone uses them differently for different purposes - not sure how many permutations that little mix will throw up!!

    For me they both have different aspects, etc:~

    Facebook

    • Highly targeted traffic
    • Paid and free options
    • Traffic from groups or from pages
    • Bigger market audiences
    • Cost of paid ads
    • Pages can be monetised
    • Business friendly


    Twitter

    • Quick and easy
    • Good targeting
    • Limited to 140 characters
    • Can be automated
    • Can have an unlimited number of accounts
    • Easy to get banned
    • Business unfriendly

    Just a few quick thoughts on the matter – there's a hell of a lot more to it than this!

    I like Facebook a little better because there's more people to cover, which means more to reach/entice. And I guess because I really can't follow conversations sometimes on Twitter when they get too long.

    For me, Facebook is better than Twitter.

    I find Twitter boring most of the time. There's only texts and links of images, not the whole image itself. All you do is re-tweet and use hashtags all day. The redesigned layout is even confusing.

    In Facebook, you can do a lot. Actually, you can do everything. The layout is perfectly fine for me. It's not that hard to understand everything I see on Facebook. Things look more persuasive in Facebook than in Twitter.

    "People say that Facebook is for connecting with the people you went to school with and Twitter is for people you wished you had gone to school with. While Facebook is a multi-purpose social networking platform, allowing users to chat, post photos and notes, and play games, Twitter is built around the posting of short 140 character messages, or "tweets." They are the two most popular social networks in the world. This comparison looks at their history, growth in user base, strengths and weaknesses."

    Facebook and Twitter are two social media networking platform which can be an avenue to post,make friends, build networks and also earn money online. Maybe you need to see what is your purpose and focus for you to know what social site is better to use.

    Both Facebook and Twitter have their advantages and disadvantages. I will say in my opinion most people seem to be much more active on Facebook these days.

    really depends on how you target your audience inside of FB or use graph search, or fan page. I actually just started using Twitter a a few weeks and trying to build the following list. Using the @# tags can help target the leads that you want to create the value with.

    Facebook graph search can help build a relationship with the potential business partners, fan page is more directed on paid ads to target the audience in bringing the traffic; if you can afford the ads I go for it.

    Twitter is based off tweets, and you get quality leads on Twitter, I would talk a little more about Twitter, but as I said easier . I barely started using this method.

    Both the Best!
    You can not ignore these 2 weapons if you really want to make money fast in IM or any online marketing niche.

    The under mentioned area needs to be taken care off in both these sites.

    1. FACEBOOK - Join as many groups as possible and make qualitative posts and start making loads of friends and subscribers and make money.

    Twitter - Make multiple accounts as this is not allowed in Facebook and follow and tweet and send DM and build up a relationship and grow it to a level that will fetch you money on autopilot.

    I repeat that both are mandatory and you must not ignore them .

    Facebook is a good long term plan for business marketing, but Twitter can generate instant results as it's very live and busy with millions of visitors all tweeting and retweeting/interacting with each other's content. You just need to find the right people to interact with and they will lead you to others who will want to talk to you. These people will turn into your blog readers or product buyers.

    The development of your Twitter following will happen much more quickly and the more followers you have the faster it grows. I have grown something like 7000 more Twitter followers since April this year, so I must be getting search engine traffic there too.

    Twitter is not as responsive as Facebook though. If you want more of a response from your following, you should build your Facebook fan page. If you can build the right following on Facebook using the tips, tricks and techniques that you will find in the ebook on my signature link, you will be able to grow a big, responsive and engaged following who will like and act on your posts.

    Hope this helps

    Both of them has it's own benefit. Most of people don't know how to gain targeted traffic from twitter and say there is no chance to gain targeted visitors in IM/MMO niche. You must know the rules and techniques. There are lots of Free/Paid tools to manager your followers.
    Also facebook is really awesome place to generate sales and leads. Again you must know the rules and techniques. People build their fanpages and get thousands of fan in two week.

      Have you tried Tumblr? A blogger friend of mine writes about the adult niches and two very successful Tumblr blogs. They don't seem to mind that being talked about there and she even sells ad space to advertisers, such as paid product reviews. Not sure how Facebook or Twitter would react to your linking to an adult type site, but Tumblr is more liberal. Another thing, check out Pinterest. You might be able to get away with posting 'safe for work' images and linking to your site.

    I have not figured out how to best tap into Twitter but the speed of Twitter is INSANE. Coming up with a method or approach to get something to go viral on Twitter would be time well spent. 1 hit from 15 times at bat with Twitter could pay big dividends.

    All that said, I agree the slower and steady work on FB that can have some level of exponential growth is probably the safer return on time investment.

    Social media is really gaining interest and many users are using social media pages to check updates about company or products or websites.

    Facebook has the most visitors per day on it. It also has large number of member which has signed up.

    Facebook is more user friendly to share valuable content amongst user. Facebook has most number of registered member as well as online member. So it has high traffic per day and this is major advantage of that it is better then Twitter.

    Twitter has less traffic as compared to Facebook. Some people get confused with using twitter's Hash tag. This can be another issue.

    Twitter has really improved and many people are now finding it easy to use Twitter due its mobile app.

    Hmm, for direct sales advertisement and longer lasting advertisement I'd use twitter!

    Why?

    Well if I post on Facebook on my fan page at 8am, by 8pm my content isn't relevant or can't be easily searched the way it can be on Twitter..

    On twitter if I'm looking to buy a dress on sale, all I need to do is type "dress sale" and a bunch of people having dress sales will show up.. Unlike facebook...

      This is one of the best explanations I've seen so far as to why you should use Twitter. With the built in Twitter search function, your potential follower/customer has instant access to everything you have tweeted about over the years. And, your tweets are just as likely to rank higher with the on site search function as anyone else's, if they contain the relevant phrases being searched.

      Overall facebook is the best.

    Both are two most popular social networks in the world...
    Facebook is a flexible social platform, allowing users to chat, post photos and play games as well, whereas in Twitter we post short 140 character messages known as "tweets".

    Both Social Media is best depending on which purpose it serves. Facebook can drive a lot more traffic to your website and offers a lot of features such as Pages and Events that can help promote your business. However, it is easier to reach out people from Twitter because of the mentions.

    I use Facebook less and less these days. If I do use Facebook, I'm more inclined to build a group than a page. Why should I pay to build an audience and then pay to reach them, too? Besides, the whole Facebook model is flawed. Just because someone "likes" something doesn't mean they care about it. I might "like" Twix, but that doesn't mean I'll go out and buy one. It's far too easy to "like" something on Facebook.

    Twitter, on the other hand, can be an extremely powerful tool if you use it properly. Followers who have no interest in what you promote are worthless. Followers for the sake of followers are also worthless.

    But if you can build a following that actually has an interest in what you're all about, then you can "train" them to click your links by curating useful, related content. Note that this does not mean that you'll be spamming your links all day. Curation, by definition, means that you will be linking to other people's content more than your own. If you do, your engagement should go up steadily. You can track this from Twitter Analytics.

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    Facebook will ultimately give you most traffic. Facebook also gives you by far the best follower to click ratio. Links posted on Facebook tend to have longer lifespan than twitter.

    The posting frequency is very different between the two networks. Twitter is a lot more agile here and you can post a lot more often. Twitter has the power of spreading fast and in a very short space of time. The life of a Tweet though shorter than Facebook is a lot longer than one would have expected.

    In my opinion which is better deppends mainly in your target. In most cases Facebook will be better, but in niches like mine, people in general use it just in a personal way (no more interaction than between friends/family), or don't even have Facebook.

    There are many reasons, but older people usually are more likely to use Twitter than Facebook, i.e., FB seems like a thing for kids or teenagers, twitter is simpler and easier to use, you can easily stay Anonymous on Twitter, people relate Twitter with "news" and facebook with "teenagers parties' pictures"

      That's what I also realized now. Maybe twitter is really improving by now. People are lot more engage on communicating on twitter than on facebook. Maybe it's also because it has been already connected with Google.

    It depends on your goals and your audience.

    Facebook is where more consumers hang out. Twitter is where more businesses would hang out, at least for networking and service-seeking.

    Twitter is best for my content marketing business, because my own content that I market there is more likely to be shared and engaged with than if I marketed it on Facebook.

    But when I re-launch my personal development blog, and eventually turn it into a business, Facebook is where I'll be focusing most of my efforts.

    You basically want to focus on the social networks where 1) your target audience hangs out most and 2) where they're most likely to share and engage with your content. Because that's the whole point. To build those relationships and that following, get those people to your site, and convert them into whatever you want to convert them to.

    This is a great discussion. Thanks for starting it.

    They both have there strengths and weaknesses. Facebook's algorithm is pretty lame if you are doing no paid posts, but the facebook ads can be great if you have a good targeted offer to promote.

    On the flip side Twitter Ads are very expensive. You can get things to go viral pretty quickly if you do it right. It really comes down to good content. If you have good stuff people will share it.

    Facebook is very restrictive with what commercial links you can post, and also Facebook is canceling accounts very easily if used for commercial ads (when done without paying them directly through Facebook ads)

        I agreed with Nisip and Twitter is really bringing me more traffic and sales these days.
        Yes, these tools are very powerful and efficient.

        I skyrocketed my businesses online mainly because of such tools used with Twitter

        Also Twitter users are fast and act in the momentum,

        the results (sales) coming from Twitter are within the same day as you tweeted.

        There is no other social network that can get even close to the results
        you obtain by using Twitter

    Today, when internet users have divided into a large number of social media places. It is not good to rely on only one or too.
    It is better to use Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Stumbleupon, Pinterest, Linkedin, Delicious, Reddit, Vine etc at the same time.

    However if you typically talk about Facebook and Twitter. Than Facebook is much better as you have more control on it than Twitter.

    Facebook is used by members for a variety of purposes. It is mainly used by individuals who wish to stay connected with, or reconnect with, people that they know offline. As well as maintaining a personal profile and posting messages on their "wall," users can upload photo albums and videos, share links, write long notes, send private messages to friends, text and video chat, and play games.Has around 7.87 billion.
    Twitter allows users to post 140 character messages, or tweets, and follow the messages of other users on their Twitter feed. It is mainly used to communicate with other individuals with similar interests, regardless of whether users know one another off Twitter, and to follow updates from celebrities. Users can upload photos, share links and send private messages to people they follow.
    So its up to you what does suits you more- I suggest to use them both :-)

    They work better together, depending on what is going on.
    a lot o people use twitter to search something in specific. So what ever i promote, it will automatically come out on both... and some day Facebook is better, some-days twitter is better... it depends a lot on what you post...

    on this is true, facebook if you use one line to advertise what ever... you will just get unnoticed... so you will always need to elaborate more with images or video... twitter with one single line of text you can get results... if you scale this up with what people are looking for... you can get better results then facebook with a lot less work...

    So... use both in automatic... best way!

        In my opinion and from personal experience, Twitter is a lot better at getting traffic and growing a following with very little financial investment (or none, but some is good to get it going faster). Nowadays, you pretty much need to spend more money to get Facebook to work for you, business-wise, mainly through the use of ads.

        On Twitter I never need to use ads to get the results I want from the platform. There are a ton of Twitter tools out there that work perfectly when used effectively. If you want to spend more of your time on Facebook, then it can work, but I like to spend as little actual "time" on social media as possible.

        But as for personal use, I use Facebook to keep up with friends and family, never Twitter. I barely know anyone personally who has a Twitter account (besides for business purposes). So who are all these people on Twitter? I'm not sure, but there are a TON and they're all reachable for businesses.

    Twitter is better than fb because there are too many "wanna-be". People are so desperate for so many likes on their picture they're willing to do anything. On fb when people update their status too much it gets really annoying but where as twitter you can update your tweets so much and there wouldnt be a problem because that is what twitter is for.

      Not always. Facebook works like a charm when something needs to go viral. Twitter on the other hand when something needs to spread out fast.

      When you tweet your point mainly should be to pass latest news from wherever about whatever. Correct way of using facebook focuses on getting mentioned viral traffic which is free and thats the point.

      The other difference is that your twitter followers folows you for a reason right? You tweet as a real person, which gives you advantage lets say when you do affiliate marketing by recommendation ...

      When you build facebook fan page you have 0 trust at the begining and depends on niche you need get likes, comments, reviews ... people needs to see that page is not only active, but provides mass of usefull content.

    I think twitter is a lot easier to get your name out for less money. Niche accounts can get your tweets thousands of retweets for <100 dollars. This equates to hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of impressions. I don't have much experience with facebook, so I'm not sure if this is the same.

      7---The results are often instant, in the following hours (No weeks or months waiting for results!)

    My personal opinion is twitter helps you target more accurately because people subscribe to your tweets based on personal interest. Whereas in FB you can get page like from irrelevant people if you push your page on their walls.

    Twitter is more effective that way.

    IMO, it depends on your target audience. According to studies, most women check Facebook while Men check Twitter. It also depends on what product you have. You also may want to make Facebook the main social media account you post on and make Twitter your sub, just to echo your posts from Facebook.

    Indeed an interesting question, Well according to my way of thinking Facebook is much better then Twitter.

    But one can not neglect the role of Twitter, in fact It is also a biggest competitor of Facebook. The difference between both platforms is only that Face is popular with every group of people.

    While on the other hand over young generation is not as much active on twitter as they are active on Facebook.

    It means Facebook is more popular then Twitter.

But in twitter most of them are real and able to buy product.

    So twitter is the best for selling.

      I agree with you but its not more better Twitter because as my web analytic this months, social traffic to my site is 40% Facebook, 30% Twitter, Youtube 20% and the rest is other social networks.

    As far as my home business is concerned, Facebook lends me more engagement and click-throughs simply because the site allows for more personality to come through and I feel as a sales person if they believe me,,,, They will buy my products. Twitter seems to impersonal for me to get actual leads.

      stop guessing. to me it is most important where the most money is made. I make huge amounts of money on twitter so I prefer it over FB. If you have the right products and sites FB ads can be a banger too though.

  • Guys, it's all relevant. All the social medias are specific on their own way. Maybe the Twitter is now on top, but also maybe it doesn't work for your business. So it's important to adjust your business to adequate social media platform. Don't pay attention which one is on top, or last. Just use it right!

    Twitter posts almost always are ranked better and higher in Google searches.

    google is in direct competition with facebook, so they don't want to bring traffic and visitors to their direct competitors,

  • If we will based on Alexa ranking daily the winner is Facebook which is second to Google while Twitter sits on No. 9. So my final conclusion is this:

    Either the two of them is the best particularly if you are doing the right method to drive traffic to your offers.

    It's important if you are marketing your products be sure to it that you know the right audience you are dealing with. And that's the important to get a massive sales to your offer. Remember that " High Converting Funnel + Right Audience =

    I personally think that Twitter is a more convenient social media compared to Facebook. One thing I can tell you for free is with the fact that Facebook has a majority of users compared to twitter, there bigger percentage is made up of people who can barely buy anything. Twitter has a professional feel and when you decide to venture into it, you will surely reap good results. It all depend on how you will be able to lay down the strategies.

    I can say that it all depends on the strategy you are going to use when it comes to social media marketing. If you believe in your strategy, I do believe that any of the top platforms will turn out to be very resourceful when it comes to generation of traffic. To me I have used and embraced facebook because of the number of active followers that I currently have. You also I guess you have the reasons why you are stuck on twitter.

    Facebook has more than double the active users of Twitter, but twitter have less restrictions for posting contents.

    Choose Facebook : if you have a little budget that can be put towards promoting your posts. You have a large follower base on your personal profile that you can leverage for your business page.You like to use a lot of photos for your products, as they tend to get a lot of interaction, which will then result in longer news feed staying power.

    Choose Twitter : if you have a lot of content to share and plan to be proactive in your interaction with other accounts. You have a niche product or service that people might be using Twitter search to investigate.You want to share great information that's not directly tied to your company. Answering questions, retweeting, sparking up conversation, and being helpful on Twitter can lead to people investigating you more and following your account.

    We ran an application with the target audiance of female millenials and regarding my experiences, Twitter worked better in our case, escpecially in the US. Our users also started to use Twitter as a support channel and shared more content there than on Facebook, while people were more engaged on Facebook in Europe and in our local fanbase. However, I would suggest to use both. I think these channels are must in the US and Europe and in addition, they are also two relatively cheap marketing channels for many products as well.

    I think twiter is better then facebook because Facebook has its boundaries. It is limited by who you know and who wants to know you. Your friends are your source of entertainment on Facebook, while Twitter allows you to easily talk more interesting people. Facebook also ages with you. What was once a forum for spring break photos and wild college nights is now, for us mid-to-late-twenty-somethings, a place dedicated to pets, dinners and babies. If you are nearing thirty, your Facebook timeline is growing older and more boring.

    For me, it depends. Twitter is a fast-paced social media platform that allows you to check which topic is trending so that you can go with the flow. On the other hand, IMO, you'll only get noticed on Facebook if you have a huge amount of friends or likers. If not, you'll end up with less post reach.

    I would recommend using both facebook and twitter. Both allows you to run ads but facebook ads are more effective per my observation.

    Definitely Facebook

    1) The purpose of twitter is to update your status, on Facebook you can do that and so much more
    2) Twitter it used to stalk celebrities. That is and always has been its purpose
    3) Facebook you can easily communicate with friends and long lost friends
    4) On Facebook you can upload pictures and create various albums
    5) Although twitter allows you to tag people and photo's, Facebook new features allows you to do just that
    6) Facebook has so many more users and is more popular

    Based on my experience I have to admit that Twitter is better than Facebook. My company offers specific niche services and it was almost invisible in social media when I have started working there. Facebook turned out to be a little bit common for us while Twitter drove user engagement with using specific hashtags.

    It is the most common question that has been asked many times on the forum and other sites as well. Well, Facebook and Twitter both have huge popularity and these platforms have huge active members in it. So, both can be effective as per the post or tweet and your business as well.

    When we talk about business, I think that Twitter is better. At least, it provided excellent results for my company so far. However, this is all matter of opinion. Then again, you might want to do some research or perform a pole before using either one of those for your personal work. It might also have something to do with a particular demographics or it may depend on niche or industry.

    It very much depends on what you are trying to achieve and who your audience is. Twitter is extremely valuable for brand interaction and collaboration with influencers while we understand the obvious benefits of Facebook. Let's ask that question then: What are you trying to achieve?

      Twitter by a mile. Facebook is all about paying facebook, you even have to pay them to access your own likers. Ridiculous! Twitter traffic statistically converts at something like 2.5 times facebook and you don't have to pay one red cent to reach your own followers.

      Ever looked at your facebook page stats on a non-promoted post? If you reach 2% of your base you are doing extremely well. How pathetic! Why anyone actually still pays them is beyond me.

      I spent thousands on Facebook paying to build my fanbase, I gave them enough money just doing that, but for them that's not enough those greedy *******s want even more to reach the fans that I already payed through the nose to aquire. The truth is you can reach just as many people with a promoted post to non-fans as you can paying to reach your own fans. Very little point in building a fan base there anymore.

      Yes I did make sales when I payed to promote a post, but I could do just as well with Adwords. Twitter on the other hand doesn't cost one thin dime to market to your own followers. And you can build your followers, slowly but surely, without paying either. The only trick would be that when you post a tweet you want to be sure to include a photo. It increases your response by orders of magnitude over just a text post, and since there is a limit to the characters you can post, you don't have to worry about trying to write tons of high end copy. Just a few keywords and hashtags and you are set. I dumped Facebook last year and never looked back.

      Facebook started to limit harshly any links that point to outside of Facebook

      Facebook just wants to keep people inside Facebook website at all times.

      That is why if you want to have longterm clients without being charged constantly for just writing to them, the free way to go is Twitter

    My vote is for twitter due to engagement factor because engagement could easily be the deciding factor between marketing on Facebook or Twitter.
    Twitter is undoubtedly the more engaged of the two platforms. it encouurages and fosters that ono to one relationship; when you follow someone on twitter
    you are subscribing to every little detail of their life but facebook does not have this feature of building interpersonal relation with each of your fans.

    Nice question, all of us know that both social media, Facebook and Twitter, has many things to do. You can watch, you can post and you can communicate but which is the better? Both of them are public in a sense, but for me, I prefer Twitter since the posts are more direct and it is easier to navigate than Facebook.

    Twitter is simpler that Facebook. Which makes it fast and more responsive. Maybe it has limiting characters in what you're posting and the content of it but Twitter gets to the point faster and what is captioned in your post makes it more aggressive than Facebook. It is the key to its mobile and indeed the best thing about this social media. It is lively, responsive and faster than the other.

    Both the Facebook and twitter are considered one of the famous social media platform. If you ask me i would say to use both to get more clients. But if i have to choose one then i would say that Facebook is better than twitter because of following reasons:

    Size: Facebook has 400 millions and Twitters 75 millions users. It is best to target the platforms that have maximum user traffic.

    Engagement and Interactivity: When you are targeting audience then you need to select the platforms where the audience spend most of their time and according to the Facebook survey, users spend more time engaging Facebook than on Twitter.

    In Facebook, the users can store and share much more information about the brands and products as compared to the twitter.

    Twitter has searchable conversations although it is the same as on Facebook. On Twitter, you share keywords in every update that you have and on Facebook you update your status. It is more updated than Twitter. You can know what is trending easily and I think it is good enough in any work that you have. It is simple but It is better.

    I think it depends on how much time and energy you put into any of of the two.

    The more you focus on either Facebook or Twitter, the better you will become,and the better it will do for you.

    I have concentrated a lot on Twitter lately and get about 2500 new followers per day. I get lots of business from Twitter. It has done very well for me.. And yes, Twitter is still alive and well if you know how to use it.

    I also have very good results with Facebook. I think it comes down to personal preference.

    Now, according to new numbers from the traffic analytics service Parse.ly, Facebook is no longer just vying with Google but has overtaken it by a significant amount.
    There's a lot of effort among media companies being placed on specific social channels like Twitter, but our data shows that Twitter is basically a distant traffic source.That's unfortunate because Facebook is a lot less transparent around things like how the algorithm functions. There's a lot more useful data from Twitter about their content, but FB is more like a black box in terms of how it operates. And yet it's this huge and growing traffic source.
