Facebook or Twitter? Which do you prefer more? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 05-03-2009, 10:11 PM

I tried this twitter thing but it sucks. Can't upload a pic unless it's the size of a toenail and I just don't see what is everyone is so excited about twitter. I don't like the look of twitter and it's just a dull site.

On the otherhand, Facebook is nice and bright and very easy to use and be involved in all kind of contests and just BLOWS twitter off the social network map in my opinion

Facebook. I don't even understand what the point of Twitter is. You just type random things and post them. Woopie ****.

Oh wait, I do that here...

MonarC · 05-03-2009, 10:17 PM

I like twitter. Short and sweet messages. Never got into facebook.

Darren J. · 05-03-2009, 10:18 PM

I don't have either one, but all my friends prefer Facebook. Even my mom has a facebook.

Well the first thing that turned me of about twitter was the LOOK. Very unattractive, it looks like the internet was out in the late 70's when I look at it.

I haven't even looked at the site. It just sounds pointless to me.

I don't have a facebook page but I do tweet. I only joined twitter so I could be a follower of S.O. there. I spend very little time there though because as Sol said it's boring. Anyway S.O. is my real social networking site anyway!!!

i don't think it's really appropriate to compare the two. facebook is for social networking and twitter is just for status updates. but if i were to choose a preference anyway, it would be twitter because it doesn't confuse the **** out of me.

What confuses you about facebook?

Brian Damage · 05-03-2009, 10:56 PM

I really don't like either, I prefer the phone to give status updates. Although, if I was forced to choose, I would choose facebook, although I hardly use it. Twitter does seem pretty pointless overall.

dawsongirl · 05-03-2009, 11:08 PM

I don't have either, though I've had people tell me I need to get a facebook.

I'll never Twitter. I don't think anyone gives two ****s about what I would tweet. I don't even care.

Brieannas21 · 05-03-2009, 11:22 PM

I have tweeted and then I stopped, but I've never been on Facebook, I don't get it nor have I tried to get it.

browneyes106 · 05-03-2009, 11:53 PM

I do have a Twitter account but I hardly use it. I like Facebook more and Twitter only allows to post short blogs. I like Facebook you can post long notes on anything you want to.

waichingliu81 · 05-04-2009, 05:42 AM

personally speaking, i think social networking sites in general are pointless because i'd rather go on an actual fan site, such as this one and as the people online would talk about the types of things that interest me and them. also, most of the social networking sites have boring and unattractive looking layouts. the main reason why i joined twitter is because michael urie and mark indelicato who play marc and justin on ugly betty are on there. if they weren't around, then i wouldn't have signed up to twitter.

there is a website called fanpop that i am a member of and here it acts as a social networking site AND a fan site for people of different tastes and interests. and i much prefer it to the likes of facebook, myspace. actually, the only websites i visit regularly are this one and fanpop.

Facebook - one is more than enough.
