A friend made lj get a Facebook in senior year of high school. I just never got into it though. I sign on and find the interface convoluted and confusing. (It's gotten better over the years, despite what most users claim, but I still have ridiculous issues figuring the site out which is embarrassing for me as an internet junkie.) Factor in that I really dislike Facebook's privacy policies and whatnot and I just don't like the site. I keep my account but I only go on a few times a year.

But Twitter? I'm addicted. I hated it back when it started up and a friend convinced me to sign up, but now it's hardwired into me. :p I think in 140 characters. But seriously, I love it. Most of my friends--online and off--are there, so it's easy to keep in touch, and since it originally integrated so well with mobile phones and texting (before smartphones really took off), I was able to keep up with friends even when they had no internet, had no time for forums/MSN, etc. And when I finally got a decent phone, I was able to update on the go too. It helped me feel connected in the middle of nowhere or, in one case, kept me sane while waiting for somewhat emergency surgery. :'D

I've got a smartphone now with Twitter/Facebook integration so I assume it would be easy to figure out a simplified version of FB but I really just have no desire. To my understanding, FB updates have become more and more like tweets lately anyway and since all the people I'd really want to talk to are on Twitter anyway, there's little need for me to touch Facebook.
That is the few things I love about Twitter. The same reasons I put on bold right there. :)

I got Twitter on my iPod Touch. I be able to tweet if I find Wi-Fi on the go. And it is great for emergencies! Like if something happened to me or someone I can tweet about it so everyone will know the situation. It is pretty great. At first I thought Twitter was stupid, but I don't think that way anymore.

I won't get a Facebook though. I been hearing a lot of stuff going on there. And some of it isn't good. And besides I got MySpace.

So it is Twitter for me only.

Twitter is mostly for stocking your favorite celebs and Facebook is mainly stocking your family and friends lol. I have both and use Twitter more to talk to some of the wrestlers and stuff.

I have both, but I mainly use Facebook. The majority of my friends are on there, & it's easier for me to talk to them there when I can't see them irl. I just use Twitter for online stuffs.

I have MySpace too, but I rarely use that. xD

Facebook and Twitter for me. Twitter is pretty much where my thoughts go to. Facebook is simply slamming a book on someone's face, telling them HAI! :P

Overall, Facebook is my private space, where I can talk to classmates and family members. It's private, so no one can't find me unless I find them.

Myspace is so 2005.

I don't see the point in Twitter and I've had one for two weeks. If you can't find a use in two weeks, what good is it?

Facebook lets me chat without running up my phone bills but I don't live on it like a lot of the people on there

Facebook. I never really saw the point in Twitter; the only time I'd use it is if someone's hosting a contest, and you need to follow them to be entered. I never saw the appeal in instant updates in what someone's doing. It makes me feel like a stalker, sorta.

I'm also hopelessly addicted to Facebook, even though I wouldn't admit it a few months ago.

I used to tweet a hell of a lot, but decided to stop.

It's neither for me. I shut off my Facebook after they gave it that ugly look.. I couldn't even find the logout button..

Both - Facebook I use more to keep track of my actual life and whatnot while Twitter is more for my online life. The two intersect occasionally as I don't really have a clear-cut boundary between the two.

I used to have a Twitter, but I saw no point to it and deleted it.

So, I use facebook only. I find it a good way to keep track of your social life and such~

I'll join the ranks of the people that have said neither. I used to have a Facebook, because people harassed me to get it, but I only ever used it to laugh at the idiotic status updates people would post. Then it started causing unnecessary drama so I deleted it. I have never used Twitter.
