Is Twitter Better Than Facebook ?

It all depends where your customers are, no?

And don't forget Google+ - that is also becoming big.

I automatically send my FB posts to Twitter and other places. Twitter is where much more of the 'real' world interacts/communicates (as opposed to the tiny world of IM). And don't forget LinkedIn as well for business purposes too.

Both of them are good.
You cannot compare them with each another to choose which one is the best.
Never ignore one for another. Market on both of them.

It depends on the services you suggest and also your purpose, but usually companies are managing two +more accounts at once.

It depends on what function you wish to perform. What did you have in mind?

According to me, both are good. It depends on your purpose and your service.

I've always preferred Facebook because I just don't care enough about everyone's personal thoughts to constantly be bombarded with them via tweets. But that's just my personal opinion.

As said they are both important and you shouldn't focus just one in social media marketing. I personally have better results with twitter but that's just me.

Facebook because huge amount of traffic only on facebook almost 48% of social media traffic. Facebook have many groups to advertise your business.

Both hare good to get traffic and popularity. And i get my twitter profile and Facebook
page in search engine ranking for my website keyword. And its all up to your business from where you got your user. It may be Facebook may be Twitter or both.

Both are best. But i Prefer Facebook.

Your question is like choosing between Mac and Windows..
...
It's hard to differentiate the two though, however, everything depends to your preference..

both are good depending on your customers but I think Facebook is a little better than Twitter

They cannot compare, each is a different Social Media environment, and each one of them is useful for specific purposes, ways of usage and interaction !

This graphs should explain it:

Hey Guys,

As per one survey, facebook fans response is around 90 % while in twitter case it is only 33%. I can't put that survey link over here so i am sorry but if you want you can search on google.

Now here is my experience,
From my facebook page i am getting around 50 to 60 visitors everyday....not so bad ohmm....while only 5 to 10 from twitter.

So in my opinion....facebook rocks

Agree with everyone else. It depends what kind of market you are in, who your audience is, etc. Definitely would recommend setting up a Google+ account because every article I have read says it is about to blow up and become the new go-to for social media.

For some of my clients, we get much more interaction on twitter, others get almost none. It also depends on what type on content you plan on posting. Different users go to different sites for certain information. If you want to post about a flash sale, use twitter. Tips and tricks are great for both Facebook and Twitter, but with Facebook you can add more details. Remember that you are limited to how much you can say on Twitter.

Hope this helps!

From a personal standpoint...Facebook over Twitter by far!

You cannot compare which one is best. Both are good.

From recent statistics, it's clear that Facebook outperforms Twitter in terms of the number f referrals it generates. You can see a full stats analysis here. Q4 2013 Referral Traffic: Facebook Up, Pinterest Up, Twitter Down

I think so twitter is more better than facebook for link sharing......

Twitter has too many fake accounts. You have to wade through 100 fake and dead accounts to find 1 real account.

Facebook's engagement is real more often than not because that is where the majority (of the U.S. population at least) spends it's time.

It is hard to say if something is better than the other. It really depends on what you are marketing and your likes and expertise. I prefer FaceBook to Twitter, but it really depends on many factors of your business.

I like both twitter & facebook. I think both are inportant to people.Both users are increasing day by day.

Apples & Oranges

Hello

Both of them are good in place of each other. Facebook and Twitter are the best social Networking Sites.

i personally recommend that twitter is better then face book because if you send the friend request to many people in face book they block your account and if you made the friends in twitter in bulk then they didnt block your account so i think twitter is better

This images should explain it:

This kind of questions have been asked a lot of times. You can make a search in the forum to get answers. It all depends on the niche you are. In some cases twitter can be better and in some facebook. But both can be used.

both are have their own value.

I won't say that a particular site is better than the other but then again each website has it's own pros and cons. Twitter while is good for it's time constraint targets then facebook is good for it's user base. The choices made by you should reflect the maximum benefit that you want to reap. It's better to hire a SEO/ eCommerce expert to do this initially and then gradually doing it yourself. This is the most profitable way of earning online reputation.

Both are better to me. It will depend on your using experience. You may know each social media has some tricks to get people attraction. So if you are a beginner then facebook and if you are an advanced user then twitter is best.

ere are the top 9 reasons Twitter is better than Facebook

1. Friend vs. Follow: On Facebook, if you’re friends with someone, all of their stuff comes up in your feed. And let’s just say that not everyone knows how to use social media wisely. On Twitter, people can follow you, but you don’t have to follow back.
2. Short and Sweet: 140 characters for the win!
3. Hashtag Linkage: Sure, you can use hashtags on any social media platform, but they don’t actually do anything except on Twitter. Click that #hashtag and you’ll be linked to other tweets using it.
4. More Celebrity Interaction: Just a personal observation, but it seems to me that more celebs seem to actually tweet themselves, as opposed to their Facebook pages, which seems like a big advertisement managed by their PR folks.
5. Fewer Ads: Are the promoted posts on Facebook driving anyone else bonkers? The promoted tweets aren’t so bad -- maybe because of the 140-character limit.
6. Retweets: People are much more likely to RT something of yours they like than to share your status on Facebook.
7. Cellphone Compatibility: Facebook mobile, in a word, sucks. Meanwhile, there are a lot of awesome Twitter apps out there that integrate really well with your smartphone. I use Echofon and am very happy with it (not an advertisement).
8. Breaking News: It happens on Twitter. The running joke when news “breaks” on TV is, "I heard about that an hour ago on Twitter." Over on Facebook, my stream sometimes shows posts that are a day or more old.
9. Privacy Settings: Since I joined Twitter in 2008, the privacy settings haven’t changed much, if at all. Seems like they’re changing every other week on Facebook.

Twitter is more effective & popular than Facebook.In Twitter you can get more visitor.

I think of Twitter as an announcement place - sort of like classified ads or a billboard. Quick announcements and news. Yes, you can engage with some tweets, but I find the best use of it for quick announcements with links like new products, back in stock, holiday reminders, etc.

Facebook is my next step up as it allows for more engagement and conversations, though I generally limit posts to 200-300 words with links to more.

G+ is the place for longer articles 400+ words rich with keywords. Google indexes them almost immediately which is best for SEO use. I find I don't get as much engagement on it as Facebook, but the SEO benefits are the best.

My blog gets the longest version of the articles, 500+ words. The others link to it or to my stores directly depending on the articles.

Of course use keywords and hashtags on all of them (well tags on the blog instead of hashtags but same idea).

So really all the social networks working together gives the best results I think. And smaller networks like plurk, tumblr, etc can be worked in too depending on where your target market is.

Face book would seem to be more useful at least in some cases, twitter I never really got, I guess if your more of an extrovert twitter is your thing, introverts probably prefer facebook.

Both are good.Not any of one will be less important than others.But I personally like Facebook because its so simple to use.

I believe Facebook will always be the leader no matter how many changes they make. Just think...Google is the top search engine still and look at all the changes they keep making

I personally have gotten better results with facebook. Twitter use to be great when it first came out and everyone used it.

I was a lot more active on twitter. I got 3 to 10 visits daily from 3000 followers from twitter. Facebook was on and off. I only had around 280 likes on facebook page and was not active too.
Google plus was starting to feel good. Some of my google plus posts ranked on google first page for some good keywords. I was also starting to use facebook more but unfortunately, i lost my website because of deleting an important folder in wordpress. So cannot say much about the comparison. I think both should be good. Even if they say facebook referral is 90% and twitter is 33% , it's not of much worry to us. We can only get a small percentage of those numbers to our website and at such a smaller level, those numbers shouldn't matter in my opinion.

There are some other best platform for social media rather than Facebook or Twitter.

Like: Pinterest, LinkedIn, Youtube and Google+. You can get more customers and business leads from these source.

If we are talking about these two platform (facebook and twitter), Then Twitter is best because o twitter we can get professional persons.

I would recommend Twitter if your are posting copy or text and would recommend Facebook if your are posting videos and photos.
