Facebook vs Twitter I have various hobbies and one of my hobbies is surfing the internet. I am an addict tweeter and I love facebooking. I am a blog walker and also a blogger but I keep my blog private. As I said in my previous entry, I don’t share my secret with others. I wrote everything in my blog but end up, I am the only one who read them. Weird, am I? But recently, my interest is more toward Twitter. Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets", to your friends, or "followers." I signed up to Twitter last March but only now I’m starting to actively using it when I found that Twitter is actually very fun. There are some things in Twitter that Facebook doesn’t have. However, I do admit that Facebook has more applications than Twitter such as games, picture tagging and chat. Here are the reasons why I said that I prefer Twitter than Facebook. Firstly, we are able to get other’s updates easily just by following them in twitter. But in Facebook we must add the person as a friend to get their updates. Next, Twitter has less privacy settings when compared to Facebook which lets us to get more online exposure especially when we want to know about our idols because most of the famous people in the world are using Twitter to update about what they are currently doing. In addition to that, in Twitter, we don’t have to waste our worth time like playing online games, meaningless pokes and tags from friends in twitter. There are just my opinion. People have rights to choose what they like and didn’t. Although I prefer Twitter than Facebook and recently actively using Twitter, but still, I have some time using Facebook. Both have advantages and disadvantages
