Facebook vs Twitter, which is better ?

Facebook all day every day.

I wouldnt even spend much of any of your time on Twitter IMHO

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 is good now a days.

Facebook is best for driving traffic but some times your adsense get banned due to large volume of traffic from social media

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!

It's Facebook. Twitter needs double energy because of too many Fake accounts LOL.

Certainly Face Book is better than Twitter.

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.

Facebook has over 1.2 billion active users, potential clients

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

I read somwhere that, overall, 99.8 % of tweets are never read by anyone

Not doubt..Facebook is best now-a-days, I am busy with my Facebook pages with lots of traffic, not even a single moment on Twitter.

Hello,
I think both are most helpful for getting traffic.
In Facebook, we can promote our business more elaborately. Just like, we can use viewable image/videos in Facebook which helps to get better impact.

Facebook is best due to multiple pages in one account while twitter is best due to its hash tags.

I prefer Facebook to be the best. Not everyone and in every country Twiiter is popular. But Facebook is popular in every way. Don't spend time on Twitter rather focus on Facebook Fan page, and try to make it awesome one..

Form me Facebook it can drive more traffic and your can earn some money as well because of that traffic especially in CPA.

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 !

The best is to combine them, especially now because of facebooks EdgeRank algorithm.

It really depends on what you are trying to promote. Visual things tend to do better on Facebook.

All my traffic for my affiliate marketing firm comes from re-tweets of twitter, facebook doesn't count for more than 18% of my traffic. I find twitter is better for marketing, but if you want leads then facebook is the way to go. Just from my personal experience anyway.

faceboook takes some time and relationship building skills but does work just be patient with it....Twitter at one point was very good but now seems a waste of my time

In my opinion Twitter is better than facebook, Because Twitter is a very large social channel, I know facebook as well and good network but in my personally Opinion because twitter gives me more effect result gives more traffic for my business My choice is {Twitter} {Twitter} [Twitter}

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.

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.

Facebook is better with different functionality like groups, pages, places, etc

I would say facebook by the look's of it most of us here are of the same opinion.

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!

It all depends on your target audience but generally I prefer facebook since its more social/personal than the other!

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..

In my opinion,whatever facebook or twitter,they have each own advantage.i both like them very much,but it so regretful for me that i can use them freely.if we want to login them,we need to via the vpn tool.

My personal opinion is Facebook, I simply had more success with it. 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.

Know your audience and where they hang out.

I prefer both Facebook and Twitter as it depends on the post and tweets you tweet on facebook and twitter respectively, How useful it is for visitors or users, If they find some interesting post then only they will wish to visit your website or others posts.

As an Internet Marketer I'd say using both Facebook and Twitter is crucial to grow your business. It's not a matter of which one is better but instead of how many sources of traffic you use...

If the question is which one is better for marketing then I will definitely say Facebook is better. Facebook has a large audience and it offers more oppurtunities to do marketing. We just have to take the right marketing way via Facebook according to our niche. Because every niche can have different demand of engagement.

Both have their purpose and if you have a website, you must use Twitter as well as Facebook. However, I must say I earned a good amount of money with CPA offers on Facebook without website and direct links. I would not have been as successful with Twitter.

I used to make lots of sales via twitter but got my account with 60,000 followers suspended because they decided they didn't like tweetadder, or any automation software.. So twitter works well and less competition as they are all advertising on Facebook .. 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.

This continuation discussion is quite useless.

Facebook has now already over 1 300 000 000 active users, potential clients for your businesses.

Twitter has about 0.2 billion users, most of them spammers and bots though...

and actually more than 99.8% of tweets go unread by anyone ever...

In my opinion Facebook of course

I like both Facebook and Google+, though I'm not ignoring Twitter as it allows me to send out short burst messages to my followers. Also, since these tweets are public, they are picked up in a feed, when proper hashtags are used. And, so the tweets are likely to be seen by more than just my Twitter followers.

I prefer Facebook to twitter. Facebook gives many options to promote like fan page whereas tweeting is the only way to generate traffic in Twitter.

I have real followers in Facebook unlike Twitter so I'll choose Facebook over Twitter.

I think it's been said but yes you need to find the best platform for your particular niche. Where are the people you want to buy from you? Are they on Twitter? How are they consuming content? Are they in a buying mode? What about Pinterest? I have an e-commerce client who we do a lot of pinterest with and see good ROI from it.

But at the end of the day, you should definitely be using Facebook. I've had great success with it in terms of engagement and ROI from advertising.

Hands down to Facebook! They are the 2nd best website behind Google and over Youtube. But I would recommend that you should use both Facebook and Twitter for your own campaigns.

They are both very good marketing tools, but I prefer Facebook. I do use both though, and encourage everyone to use as many social media platforms as possible. Facebook is good because you get more options when setting up a fan page compared to a Twitter account and there's a bigger chance of a post going viral.

No love for Tumblr? You can set up your tumblr to feed into both your facebook and twitter feeds

I agree that each of them has their own advantage, but if you have to choose want then evaluate your target market(are they using twitter or facebook?). It is still advisable to get exposure as much as you can.

There's some good comments here, both for and against. I think Facebook is easier and quicker to build a following but Twitter can be a useful second tool.

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.

In Indonesia, twitter is booming, everybody use twitter for business or talkin with friends. for business, i choose twitter. But twitter have weakness, the sentence is limited.

I prefer facebook & twitter both. Because both have their unique benefits according to their features.

For me, I think twitter is the best, 'Cause I use google adsense, and twitter CPC on adsense is so much better than facebook, and this is my second mounth on twitter I recieve 3000 visits per day

No doubt. Facebook is better.
Facebook is good that twitter because many of us are using Facebook more than twitter.

Facebook, of course! Facebook gets the highest conversions.

-k

From my point of view, Facebook is more useful compare to Twitter because it connected with more people and there were no word limit when we express our emotions for our product marketing.

At present facebook is not only a popular social media but also the most popular site in the world. Facebook has the highest viewer all over the world. Even the viewer of facebook is higher then Google. Facebook is user friendly then Twitter. so undoubtedly you can say facebook is better then Twitter.

I personally feel why we are using twitter and begging to follow me, it is just for celebs or business marketers, where facebook provides much more friendly space.

Facebook by a mile!

Facebook is the best and popular social networking site. It has innovative features such as graphic search,newsfeed etc..

Twitter is great for promotional messages, but Facebook is much better in terms of conversion rates and fostering relationships with your audience.

Friends,
I think facebook is much more user friendly than twitter.
But Twitter is much more professional than facebook.

From my point of view, Twitter is much better and secured than FB.

In terms of DOLLARS and CENTS, Facebook is hands down better than Twitter.

I think Facebook is best because a large number of people come here everyday. So you can find easy traffic for your business.

Facebook is better then Twitter, by FB page you can engaged the fans via different posts, can promote your products/services and at the same time build your brand.

I was never able to get into Twitter very much. I strongly prefer Facebook.

Facebook ppc is the best thing I would think about. I find it very helpful in generating leads. Loving it.

For me both are important and useful. Both of them have different way of working and it gives different results for different sites

Now both supporting hash tags. So both are good at their own ways.

i think facebook is better than twitter

For marketing perpective = engagement = click-throughs = Facebook.

For day to day use not being a marketing person = Twitter.

To earn some pocket change on weekly basis = Directly.me

I feel that facebook is more my speed. I have used twitter and while I like it, I find that I use FB much more. Just appeals to me more but both are excellent for business.

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.

My opinion... use both!

I use them all together. I just make a blog and use Twitter, FB, Youtube. Better to use all than just 1 in my opinion. All in how you structure what you are doing.

Personally I would vote for Facebook because based on my experience twitter is difficult to penetrate since it's fast pacing and I'm getting a hard time to track down my past conversation. Maybe it just about finding the right social media platforms that works for you.

Facebook has been my main source of traffic. I find Twitter visitors to have higher bounce rates than FB visitors

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.

Im doing great with facebook and cool content.
Twitter is so full of trolls and crap.
Linkedin is better for business.

The differences between the two networks are substantial and in some ways a direct comparison between the two is actually difficult to make. Twitter is simple while Facebook offers a more complicated way.

In my opinion Facebook is better option as compared to Twitter .. because Facebook has world's largest user network so obviously you can get lots of traffic through FB.

Facebook and Twitter Both have their own use.

If you have good twitter followers you can use it other wise you can much concentrate on facebook.

Facebook's most common use is to keep people informed of what's happening. It's become a scrapbooking site, where people archive important moments in their lives. Twitter focuses on speeding things up, often becoming a source in and of itself.

Facebook -- without a doubt.

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.

Defiantly Facebook.

It is the most active social media site.

I get positive result after using twitter, so i will go with twitter

I personally have never made a dime from Twitter or seen traffic coming from it and i have more followers on Twitter than I do on Facebook. I guess it all depends on who your target audience is, what your niche is and and what you're selling to them as well as the quality of your followers.

When I check the social profile of my list very few of them have twitter accounts but they all have facebook profiles.

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 CPC is great source to gather traffic. I use Facebook ads frequently and getting lot of traffic from Facebook ads. Use of social media in a proper way will definitely lead to a huge traffic.

I use both facebook & twitter both are best resource for me....

you have many things to explore on facebook (join groups , create pages, etc.)
if you want any stuff to go viral on internet than facebook will always help you out
twitter is also a popular social site and mostly professionals use it. so on leads point of view twitter is equally good.
use both for marketing

In my opinion Facebook is much better then Twitter

I have accounts with both. I hardly ever use twitter, I just find I can do allot more on facebook, and I find it a more enjoyable way of interacting with people. Having said that I will still use twitter for things in the future as it is very popular.

Sarah Lee

You can reach more target market using Facebook. It has pages, groups...etc. Just be sure to take advantage of these features and not be too spammy.

Facebook, still.

Personally, I find Facebook as place from where my personal friends post their rants and that makes me annoyed that is why I prefer Twitter more. I can express myself more on Twitter and I find more serious people from there.

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.

This can be a very powerful advantage when you're just starting up and nobody yet knows who you are.

Fb, Facebook , Facebook.com is the best one for me.

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
Good luck with your choice!

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.

Even though twitter brings in more traffic, I think Facebook traffic converts a lot better, so I will have to say Facebook all the way

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.

yup, I'm votin facebook too

I use both. The main reason for me using them are for backlinks to my content. Facebook feels more personal. With Twitter though you could have a large amount of people following you but I would say 98% of the time no one see your tweets. Think about it how often do you look at all your followers tweets.

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.

Facebook for sure for businesses. You can do so much more including Facebook promote, Facebook ads and reach out to more people. One advantage of Twitter is their hashtag, but Facebook implemented that feature!

I would say Facebook since they keep on adding features especially the hashtag available on the said popular platform. They also had advertisement for online retailers or website owners to promote their site.

I think facebook is better than twitter.
And in china facebook is more popular.

as twitter is much limited as compare with Facebook.but for business purpose twitter is much better than Facebook.

Now doubt facebook is best in all social networking sites. My personal experience about twitter is not good waste of time and energy.

Facebook and Twitter both are good. But Facebook is better than for Social Networking and it generates lots of traffic too than twitter.

I've spent a ton of time on Twitter in the past and have never seen any results from it. At least on Facebook I'm able to see some results fairly quickly. For me it's Facebook hands down. I just don't get Twitter.

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.

I use both... but when I look at my blogs statistics I feel that twitter is not for me... google+ and facebook are 90% better

I personally think that the people using Facebook and Twitter are different and you have more teenager in the first one vs more thirty to fifty in the second one.

If you know how to use them both you can leverage their different demographic and take advantage of it.

Facebook is definitely better, but I like Twitter more because I feel more engaged with the users. But that's just my personal bias.

I feel Facebook is better as it shows so much more than twitter although the ease of use for Twitter I feel is better so each has its strong points.

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.

Facebook V/s Twitter - Who is better ~ Facebook Tips and Tricks

Facebook marketing should be definitely better then twitter, you can easily capture traffic for your business from Facebook by creating post, page and by groups.

I definitely have to go with twitter

Both are valuable, however Facebook is set up much better for marketing than Twitter.
Though I do think it is easier to build a popular twitter account

Facebook is best among all social networks due to its excellent traffic.

I find Facebook better personally Twitter got me nothing had about 8 followers in 2 weeks pretty poor yes but i couldn't find how to get more.

Based on my experience, facebook is better to promote a product because we can target the consumer precisely

I always choose Facebook.

All these social media help posts are awesome. I've noticed that I get far better results with Twitter.

I like Both they serve a dual purpose to me Twitter has less restrictions and is easier to post vs Facebook. You can tween something in less than a minute where as Facebook you have enter a captcha code.

Facebook is more friendly, and Twitter works better for Celebs i feel.

it seems that the majority of billions of users online use facebook and not twitter

According to me Facebook is better then twitter.

I strongly recommend to Facebook because we can drive traffic on our website easily by create page on Facebook

I like Twitter because it is easy and no captcha codes but if you want the most visitors and members then Facebook takes it hands down.

Facebook is the king, everybody knows its best man.

Facebook all day long for me. it's a lot easier to get fans on Facebook, I can systematically and with quite predictable(compared to everything else online) results grow the traffic.

Can't say that about many other places ...

Now a days, Facebook is better then twitter with respect to traffic.

I am good at Twitter marketing so I use it more. I am still learning how to market effectively on Facebook. From what I understand though, Twitter is the place to be, huge growth and it is constantly evolving which keeps things interesting! Also look out for niche social networks that are growing .

I would agree with most of the posts and say that Facebook is better than Twitter but I mostly say that because I don't have as much experience with Twitter. I'm curious, has anyone had a great deal of success marketing your business on Twitter?

Hi,
In my viewpoint Facebook is much better then Twitter .
The purpose is that Facebook is well-known among every age team, so you get large viewers for your item or web page.

facebook is more common between us than twitter now days. facebook is having more features than twitter. so that you can generate more traffic from facebook.

At the moment i think it cannot be made a comparation between Facebook and Twitter. Facebook have much more users than Twitter and this says all.

To me Twitter is better I get so many followers at least 10 a day just give something interesting and they will follow

they both good in there own way but at the end of the day facebook has more subscribers than twitter.

I think I get a lot more traffic to my sites with twitter. Probably equal engagement on both though, just less click traffic on FB.

Twitter to me is the best site if you want to drive more traffic to your website. Just make sure all the links you shared are worth it for everyone to click on it..
..the morepost (meaningful ones) you shared the more people will follow you..

Both are good but still choose 2 of them its facebook

My favorite is facebook even though it seems it is phasing out and being replaced personally, I do not believe it has reached it's full potential in the business arena. My personal opinion.

Yes, twitter is the best place to bring in more customers than Facebook...as Twitter allows hash tags, you can make use of the hash tags to reach targeted audience.

FB is for every person.
twitter is for businesses.
it depends upon the usages. but FB is all rounder.

Facebook is better than twitter because you can chat with your friends in Facebook but no any option to live chat in twitter...

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.

Facebook over here!

both better now they compete each other but if compare best is facebook

I think Facebook is better option as compare to Twitter. Few among many reasons are: Facebook has no limit for character and it is very famous around worldwide. Also, It's a better choice to increase traffic and visibility.

This is a tad like fanboys arguing if Superman or Thor would win in a fight. Facebook and Twitter are totally different creatures, each with its own capacities and advantages. It's not about figuring out which one is objectively better, it's about finding the optimal solution for your own business.

And Thor would totally kick Kryptonian butt, by the way.

For me Facebook is best way better then Twitter.

for me , its facebook.

hello,
In my opinion both are good because both are captured the whole market ,but i think both have there own advantages .Facebook is famous among the youngsters for networking Twitter is something where we can find some serious topic and discussion also.

Twitter keeps you updated about the people who you follow. Facebook keeps us updated of just about anything. Facebook pages give us tips, news, suggestions and more online shopping options.

People from all walks of life also enjoy Facebook. It's a lot easier to use and there are so many things you can do while logged in.

This is just my personal opinion though.

Twitter is easier to use and no captchas but you can't beat the exposure with Facebook. So my advice do both

Facebook , twitter feels like something is missing

Both work equally but in different ways

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.

HI

I would go for facebook

You must use both or you will miss out. Both have advantages and not all people are on both? I personally like twitter because no captchas but the downside only 160 characters

I choose Facebook for sure...

Well I say Facebook because it has the ability for people to get to know you before you even sell them anything... You can also start up chats with people easier and have a complete log of conversations for years... Which makes it easy to remember what you talked about before with that same person!

I say use both to help build each other! I used twitter to build my Facebook friends fast and that has worked wonders in my business!

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...

Ah both are good no comparison

I'm doing both.. somehow I can connect better with individuals on Twitter rather than on a Facebook fan page (where people do more "Likes" and that's it).

But I guess it depends on your niche and audience? I know some can connect better on Facebook because Twitter stream can be too crowded and not to mention that character limit...

Facebook is best.

I would take 10,000 Facebook likes over 1 Million Twitter followers, easier to monetize

I've seen course on marketing for both....not that I have taken those courses ;D but I have seen they are available, but in my opinion they are two completely different monsters. The cool thing with twitter is that its simple and has a lot of integration with other social media including facebook and instagram...so what ever I share on those, I can easily share on twitter...Yes, you can do that w/ facebook but the way the post shows up there is different, not that engaging on the other hand the post on twitter is the same no matter where it's coming from..but thats just my opinion.

Now a days Facebook is best compare to Twitter.

Depends...

Branding: Twitter (Facebook is better, if you are willing to pay for branding)

Generating Leads: Facebook

most of the people prefer to use facebook when comapre with the twitter .Facebook is user friendly when compare with the twitter.

I've gotten more response from Facebook. There's more traffic on Facebook, and I believe that it's more versatile as a social platform. Plus, if you don't mind spending a few dollars, you can boost and/or promote your posts on Facebook and get more traffic.

Facebook can drive more traffic to your site than Twitter. If you look at its popularity and community, undeniably Facebook is on top of minds of those people/companies who wanted to get more popular worldwide.

I've just started using Twitter. However in terms of attracting customers and traffic, I gotta go with Facebook. It allows for more input such as images, group chats, fan pages, as well as paid advertising. Also, there's WAY more people connected to Facebook compared to Twitter.

I think It depends on using. Personally facebook is more perfect than twitter for marketing my product.

Definitely facebook.. Theyve been very good to me in the past

I would go with Facebook.


But for a younger crowd of prospects

I see Twitter having the edge.

I like them both for different reasons, I think FB is better these days.

twitter over facebook! thats my opinion

Facebook is the best

Hi,

2 different socials, 2 different segments but in my experience Facebook converts better than twitter

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.

Facebook is better than twitter.
It is popular. Everyone use facebook as a mass communicting means.

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.

I feel each have their own place.
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.

I prefer Face book...Because it is the best way to explore yourself....

As per my opinion Facebook is best as compare to Twitter at present scenario....

Facebook is the better one as it gives more exposure to the posts one will have a greater possibilities of getting more clicks.

Both are great. But I prefer Facebook.

I think this thread should be "Why Facebook is far better than Twitter?"
C'mon, we cannot compare Facebook with Twitter at the moment.

Facebook is number 1, because you can get advertise here very easily and get a lot traffic as well.

On the other hand Twitter is not good in advertising.

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!
