Facebook vs Twitter, which one is best for sharing content?

Depend upon the type of audience that your are targeting with your business. If your target audience fall under the young generation, then yes Facebook is the best. Also it depends upon what products you want to promote through social media. Clothing and electronics product based websites shall drive more traffic, when use Facebook. At the same time, Twitter is useful when you want to promote your brand and bring business value to it.

FB and Twitter are the best social networks for all business, that is why, use all app for a lot! Thanks for such popular networks, you will get a lot of audiance and a good traffic! In FB you can use Facebook Ads Manager! I think you will be satisfeid)

Hi , Sorry to say but its really difficult question because both are too good, but i think so as compared to Twitter , Facebook is good, because everyone know about it how to use , I hope everyone of you agree with me..?

Facebook. Twitter not at all.

It all depends on your business industry & the type of audience that you are targeting.

Facebook & Twitter both are helpful for business and both drive huge traffic.
If you want to promote products like cloth, shoes, daily need products, electronic etc then you can focus on Facebook. Through facebook, you can join multiple groups. Mainly younger use Facebook use and almost all know about facebook. You can promote your business name/brand name here.

Both are best in their own field . Facebook Gets you instant Traffic and twitter Take's Timees. I use both and recommend both .

It depends on the type of audience that you are addressing. Generally, Facebook works well for B2C and Twitter does well for B2B. The difference is because of the type of users these networks have. You can check out the statistics of Facebook and Twitter in this infographic.

If you're still unsure about it, try this experiment.

1. Post the same content in Facebook and Twitter. Check with Google Analytics how much of traffic you get from these networks.
2. Promote the posts in Facebook and Twitter. Now, check which network is delivering better ROI.

You should be able to arrive at a conclusion based on your results. Hope this helps.

Facebook Or Twitter which one is best for sharing content really depends where you will find your target audience.

Facebook Or Twitter which one is best for sharing content really depends where you will find your target audience. If you are comparing by numbers then Look at the below statistics for facebook and twitter.
Facebook:

You will hear this many time that �"Everyone is on Facebook” but you will have to analyze deeper and find out where your audience is Twitter or Facebook. I found this article really useful when I was analysing where my audience was: http://sproutsocial.com/insights/facebook-vs-twitter/

I think facebook. It is have a billion traffic a day from world. But twitter is not a bad idead for more share. You should do above.
Best wishes

It depends on your audience and how well you created your content. Virality is mostly about what you post, not where you post it.

Facebook is better, but Twitter is very good itself. If I had to choose I would go with Facebook.

I think that it depends on many factors. But you can use both. And if you don't have enough time to manage both accounts, then in my opinion, Facebook is more popular and more people use it!

I think facebook is better more than twitter. twitter is also good. facebook is one of the most popular social media in the word.

I think Facebook is more popular and used among people as compared to twitter.. so if you want to do marketing of any of your product or services then go for Facebook.

For me, it's Facebook. Social interaction in this platform is more alive compared to twitter.

Moz founder Randy Fishkin Advice on Twitter " Weird logic: "FB refers more traffic than Twitter. Let's not waste energy on Twitter." But... you can't benefit if you don't invest".

Well Facebook be definitelyAhoy!erior, but for somethin' t' go truly viral, I think it has t' be workin' on both.

Rand says a lot o' dumb thin's.

Depending on your target and content. Facebook has a bigger audience so its easier to share content there. Twitter for me is more on getting to know your customers. Its faster to get in touch with brands on twitter so as a marketer you can utilize that too.

Facebook is one of the best & popular social media platform, Twitter is also good


Facebook Status:
968 million daily active users
844 million mobile daily active users
1.49 billion monthly active users
83% of users outside of the US and Canada


Twitter Status:
316 million monthly users
80% of active users on mobile
77% of users outside the U.S.
500 million tweets sent per day

From my own experience as a personal user and also from the business standpoint, I have discovered Facebook is the best way to share photo and video content as well as events, while Twitter is more of the "status" and article platform. If you aren't on both you're missing out on a lot of reach and potential exposure for a piece of content, no matter what it may be.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think Facebook is more popular than any other social network on earth. But where it balls down is; where you have more followers who are much in need of what you market

Hi,

Both works well if you have valuable or interesting content to share. If you don't have anything that is valueable or interesting then nothing will work well whether its a facebook or twitter.

These are two very different platforms with very different user behavior and environment. Twitter and Facebook are two different communication model. You can discover new knowledge, news and topic at Twitter by followingg hashtag tags, keywords and users, Facebook is more productive and better than twitter when it comes to advertisement and Socialization.

Facebook has a huge following and you have greater chance to get a fruitful response from your clients. Therefore Facebook all the way

Cheers- James

It's sad that you even tried to compare twitter to facebook
twitter=poop
facebook=$$$

That depends on what you want to use them for. Here are some brief thoughts on using them for personal communication. Each can also be used for business.

Facebook - Keep up with friends and family in a semi-private community. Since you need to friend people back if you want to see each other's posts this may feel more private to some.If you friend a lot of people it can be harder to organize them than on Twitter.

Twitter - Follow people, topics, etc. in a more public space. Easy to meet new people. While some people use private accounts most do not, so you can usually see someone's posts even if they aren't following you.

which social media site is better? It really depends on what you are looking for. Facebook has many different features whereas Twitter is limited to one function. If all you want to do is broadcast small messages about what you are working on, then Twitter is possibly all you need. Of course, you can post updates on Facebook as well. You can also post pictures and videos and have them actually show up on your friends' walls without them having to click a link to even see a preview.

Facebook and Twitter are both good for different reasons. Use both to achieve the widest potential audience.

Both are best but i think Twitter is more better for sharing content .

You don't need to know which is better (and you can't since it's different for different accounts and audiences). Just work on both and see what works better in your case. Still, your best bet would be to keep both, you don't have to choose just one.

I think you should try both Facebook and Twitter to see what works better for you. In fact they are both great to reach your targeted audience.

Facebook all the way from me afraid my creating pages if you have enough friends on your Facebook pages you can really do some good work also Facebook ads

I advice to use both of them.

For Twitter there're a lot of application that can help you, ex. sending automated messages when someone starts following.
Twitter is easier and faster to grow your audience.

Facebook on the other hand may give you more quality audience.

So yes, use both of them!

And Instagram and Pinterest just for safety sake

Totally agree with those who said it depends on your business and your targeted audience. But Facebook is the powerful platform for every business and you can find your targeted audiences very easily. Twitter is also very effective. Both have their own advantages. For business purpose Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram all are the powerful platform. So I suggest you from my experience you can use both.

I am amazed to see how many people are still determined that Facebook is better, for me it most defiantly IS NOT better. I mean it used to be but things changed about 8 years back.

I get more views from Facebook, but more sales from twitter.

The problem with Facebook which most people don't seem to understand is that there are diminishing returns with it. Facebook will only share your post with 10% of the people who follow you, and if they decide to share your post it will only be with 10% of their followers, so unless you have greater than a 10% share rate, your post will only get so far before fizzling out and being forgotten. If you have something to post that is so awesome you exceed a continuous10% share rate, then the world is yours.

Twitter has no such crazy diminishing return algorithm, every time you tweet something it is there for the whole world to see, what it really depends on is how many good Twitter follower you have, and the time of day you post, but at least there is no silly algorithm working against you.

I gave up on promoting with Facebook years ago, I still get some sales from them, mostly from people posting themselves on their timeline. Twitter is far better for me.

I would suggest spending equal time on Facebook and twitter for a few months, then use your analytics to track the return you get, for me it is defiantly twitter than wins.

It depends on the content you have, the market you're targeting, and how well you created your content. It might not be either one. It all depends on what you need and what you want to achieve.

1. Facebook is the best social networking site as compare to twitter .
2. It is easy to use.
3. It is the best way to share photos,videos and other contents..

Facebook is most popular social networking site all over the world.we can get daily traffic with Facebook post There are also some paid features for get huge and targeted traffic.

In my opinion, facebook is best for all those lengthy posts and promotions. For example, you want to talk about an event and want to share more details right then and there instead of leading people to another link, because twitter can't accommodate lengthy posts. So, if you want a direct and straightforward approach, go for facebook and if you want a teaser type, you can use twitter. If you have a webpage you'd want to increase traffic for, then twitter will work best for you.

I'd go for Twitter. It's real time and you can post until you reach your tweet limit. It's direct and I think some content is best presented in a brief and concise manner.

Both of them have different impact over different niches so answering this would be a difficult task.
But if you are looking to advertise stuff them Facebook is better

I think that there both are high traffic sites and if you approach them the right way it can be huge for your business. I agree depend on which niche you're in both sites has the potential to go viral.

Facebook is the go to app for most people. We have to admit that among our friends, all of them have facebook and only a few have and actually use twitter. So, if you want to make sure that you can be read by a wider audience, your should use facebook.

Facebook is better than Twitter. I have promoted my online business on Twitter for one year and it didn't work. I started working on Facebook and it gave me thousands of clients.

Facebook is so far the best, because almost all people are on it! However, Twitter is the second best, so it would be ideal as well to promote and share content using the platform.

Wishing you the best of luck

If the post is about politics I choose twitter because most journalists and bloggers that can help make you post viral are on twitter. For other niches like fitness and health and most products, it's facebook and instagram. If it's about cat, it will go viral in any platform lol.

Both platforms are great for sharing content and making the post viral as long as the content is "newsworthy." Facebook can't make un-interesting content viral.

They both have their advantages but Twitter is slowly becoming useless these days. Everyone on Twitter just spams their links in your face.

I like twitter because it has the "real-time" feel. I can be brief and concise. I think that it's easy to market your content when it is straightforward and best to convey a message when it is on point.

I would prefer to go with facebook than to share content on twitter, facebook will get you more leads and traffic compare to twitter

Either, I believe both are just the same when it comes to sharing content or spreading news only.
I just depends on your marketing strategy. And also, just to end this "which is the best blah.. blah.." because both platform are unique in their own ways.

Twitter and Facebook both are good but in twitter, only one problem its you can't write your content above 140 words he has limits in Facebook no have limits you can write content easily.

Facebook is better for sharing content because every one used Facebook globally.There are lots of traffic on Facebook.

Both are good platforms for the business. However, if you are looking for longer term brand perception, then facebook page would do. On the other hand, Twitter is popular in certain regions more than Facebook has a wide instant reach but it's effect is short term.

They both can be great platforms.I don't think one is better than the other because it all come down to how you're connecting with your audience and some people may find it easy to build connection on Facebook than Twitter.

Twitter is great for generating momentum but in my opinion Facebook is better for branding your business long term. I a may not go to a business Facebook page to read, but I do use it as a directory to find phone numbers, get help, etc.

Spam in the twitter never stops. Facebook is more reliable for social things in general.
#1 traffic source.

For me Facebook proved as a better option than twitter to get more traffic and goes viral. Maybe it varies person to person.

For me facebook and twitter both work great in promoting content, Facebook is quick and Twitter brings you various tool to reach your target audience.

you need BOTH for sure these are the top 2 social media sites out there
why wouldn't you want a presence on both mate?

I think they are the same, check the skin salary = 100, but it is not all you can also a lot of other social networks we only superior than other social networks only.

It depends. Both can work well. What you have to establish first is your target market. Let them be aware of your business and encourage them to follow you. Make sure to update your page regularly and share posts that are relevant to your business.

Facebook & twitter both options are good for promoting the product.Facebook help to create the awareness & get the traffic . twitter help to create or add some value in the brand name.Facebook is useful when you are targeting young people. Facebook is use of evergreen content while twitter is use for real-time content. I think both have different features & specialties. Hence use both platform for promotion.

I've been using Twitter more successfully than facebook. I jump on popular hashtags, trends and breaking news stories. My site is related to breaking news, so there's always a topic for me to target.

I reply to as many people as possible, use the popular hashtags, and slowly gain followers. Then I send out a tweet with links to my stories, mixied in with other helpful tweets of course so it doesn't look like I'm just trying to advertise.

While Twitter might be up there in the social network rankings, it does not have anywhere near as much traffic as Facebook.

No doubt, Facebook and Twitter both are good platforms but yes it depends upon the type of target audience. But if it is time to choose any of them then Facebook is the one you can go with. Facebook is the one of such platform which is used by almost everyone these days so you can share any type and size of content over here to attract target audience...

#Facebook

I would suggest Facebook in terms of time frame. In Facebook wall, a post survives for more time than a Tweet.
But Twitter is a much professional platform, so it is better for business purpose.
Facebook encourages users to share fun elements, whereas Twitter is more about sharing serious elements such as news when you compare Facebook vs Twitter. In Facebook vs Twitter, Twitter with 140 characters pushes businesses to innovate and show the important facets of a news to an audience but Facebook provides ample space and bandwidth to give detailed analysis of each event. You will get many such pros and cons of both in a recent post in Techmagnate blog on Instagram vs Facebook vs Twitter vs Snapchat.

I think facebook

Facebook group is helpful for instance traffic.

I have no idea about twitter but Facebook is the best place for sharing content.

Facebook is best for sharing content because Facebook provides too many promotion related facilities.

no doubt Facebook is the best place to share content..the facebook groups are the best place to the find people of same interest and sharing content with them will give huge boost to your website traffic..!!

It depends upon the type of content you want to share and the audience you want to target. Twitter has only 140 character limit, whereas facebook has no such limit.

We can use both Facebook and Twitter because in Facebook there are different set of audience we will target and in Twitter we will target different set of Audience.

So both facebook and twitter is best at its own way in content sharing.

Facebook is better than twitter atleast for me...

As it's been said, it depends on where your target audience are most active. Twitter is great though as you can use hashtags and I think that re tweeted content gets seen more than shared content does on Facebook (just my opinion!).

Ideally you'll want to be sharing on both...

Hope this helps

Ha! infect i am having both types of social media so as to advertise my YouTube Channel but since YouTube gives you benefit to link your Twitter account with your channel I don't have to separately work for Twitter while in case of Facebook, I think i have never posted any thing after making it

Facebook. As the post stays for longer time

Facebook and Twitter are the best social networking sites for any type of business. To determine the best platform for sharing content, it all depends on the business' target audience, location and the type of product or service offered. For example, Facebook caters to B2C customers and Twitter does well for B2B. If you're still unsure, try this simple experiment. Post the same content on Facebook and Twitter and check the traffic you get on both these mediums. You can also promote the posts and check which generates more ROI. And if you having doubt still just verify my blog about Social Media Marketing

Depends upon the type of audience you are targeting. One important thing is, more number of people use facebook than twitter. So, i will go for facebook.

Facebook is best

Definitely Facebook. Facebook is a large, diverse, global community. Twitter is pretty much a niche community for celebrities, journalists and discussion of social issues. If your content is compatible with those values, then go for it.

Facebook and Twitter both are the best sharing platforms. But generally users go for Facebook. Facebook is the huge sharing platforms.

Facebook and Twitter called the best social media in the world. It's difficult to say you that what is better than one. But if you research about Facebook and Twitter, You will see the result that Facebook user is hight and most of young. Nowadays, People take it the biggest news platform.

I prefer Facebook but there's no reason you can't try both and see which works best for your audience. I think baby boomers, myself included, prefer Facebook but I could be wrong.

Rose

I would say Facebook is a better platform than Twitter. You need to consider your target audience where you can viral your content.

I think that it is about recognising who is your target audience. I agree with Rose Anderson that baby boomers probably prefer Facebook.

No any doubt both are good to share content. Facebook and Twitter both known as a popular social network channel which helps to get traffic on your website and brand rapidly. One of the best thing for Facebook where you can get huge relevant groups as per your content which is a good benefit there.

In my suggestion Facebook is better than Twitter.
Quality & Quantity of followers also matters.

Facebook is far better. You can network fast on Facebook. If you have a facebook page, then that's cool! I find it very difficult to get followers using Twitter.

Both social media sites are good for sharing content. Twitter has a wide audience & in face book you can limit the audience. It depends on your need how much you want to promote your business.And yes face book gives result faster than Twitter.

Both of them are the best social networks for all business. But I think FB is better.Facebook Ads Manager is most uesfull for sharing content.

Try BOTH and see which of them is working better for YOUR specific business

both facebook and twitter are the best platform for sharing contents and we can gain some knowledge from them.

both facebook and twitter are best for sharing content and we can also gain some knowledge from that too..

i think facebook is best for sharing contents than compared to twitter..because everyone is using facebook but twiiter is not that much used by everyone.
