Poll Of The Day: Facebook or Twitter

Facebook nowadays has been ruined by the whole invite culture. People invite me to the stupidest things - to install applications for crappy games or to do stupid quizzes or to join pointless groups. It's used more for that than as an actual medium for social networking, in my opinion. I think it's complete rubbish, but it's useful when the concept of social networking is actually put into use - I might need to contact a friend about homework or exam times etc. That's the only thing keeping me on there. I've used Twitter on and off for a fair amount of time now, and I find it useful not as social networking in the true sense, but simply in the sense of microblogging. I see interesting stuff from people like qikipedia and Douglas Coupland; I don't use it all that much to stay in touch with people. I definitely prefer Twitter over Facebook.

Facebook is a social networking website. Twitter is a mix between a social networking site and a micro-blogging service.

I use Facebook. Why? This is how I see it between the two. Facebook fits the exact niche that I'm looking for to use online - a social networking site where I'm able to communicate with my friends easily as well as catch up with old ones whom I've not seen for many years. I don't see the point in Twitter personally, why is a 140-character micro "blog" in anyway useful except in just continuously updating whatever thing you happen to be doing? If you want to blog, then get a real blog with something like Wordpress (if you want a free service). And also, I seem to notice an addiction in some people towards Twitter.. like the constant checking of the iPhone for Tweets. :\ Not good for some. I don't have anything against Twitter, but in my opinion, it seems a bit pointless.

Although I hardly use it, I'm going with twitter. I find it convienent if I need to get a hold of Erica or Andy... or something. Since Erica usually doesn't get on MSN anymore. So, yeah.

I hate face book... and myspace. Ugh. D:

I don't have a Facebook or a Twitter, but I do have Myspace, and Facebook and Myspace are much the same, and to be honest, I hate Myspace, so I'll go with Twitter.

Facebook has everything I need. You can't do wacky and random quizzes on Twitter, and that's basically the only reason I use Facebook. Besides, I know more people who use Facebook than Twitter, so Facebook is better for me to use when communicating with friends and family.

Oooo, it's hard to chose >.<..
Facebook! I don't know? because of the games there.

neither
im just now discovering facebook O_O;; you crazy kids and your ''hip'' new trends, and and "snazzy" technology if i have to choose;
facebook. i have friends who have facebook, so if i ever decide to use it, i'd use facebook
but i prefer myspace over both >x<

Facebook all the way :D So useful.

Facebook. Twitter to me just seems like a dumbed down Facebook. I don't see the point in it.

Facebook. That's where all of my friends are.

Twitter seems pretty pointless.

Facebook for me. I dont understand twitter really. But then agian I rarely go on facebook anymore. Maybe twice a week. I rather text lol

I don't use either, as I simply don't like them.

I have both a Facebook and a Twitter account. But I'll take Twitter over FB any day of the week. It's far quicker, easier to keep in touch with friends, and on the go I'm able to check Twitter.

I don't use either of them, and I've sworn never to use them for as long as I live.

Uh.. I don't go to Facebook, so I wouldn't know for sure, but... aren't Facebook and Twitter very different? O__o;

Eh, gonna have to go with Twitter. Microblogging is fun.

I hardly use Twitter.. actually I don't use it. On the other hand, I'm frequently checking my Facebook.

I prefer Facebook, because I actually tend to check it every day. Plus, Facebook has things which keep you on Facebook more than the time you would spend on Twitter. I do enjoy both social-networking tools, however.
