I can't understand it as well. I have both accounts and I am not into both sites that much. I have leave both sites for months and rarely sign in. So I don't really understand the features they have in both sites. I thin both have the same function.(^^)

I have read from other mylotter's comments that twitter doesn't have much features.. just for people who love expressing their thoughts. Maybe that's why many celebrities are there. I don't even have a twitter account.

Yeah, so twitter is like a place for posting what you feel and whatever you are doing, that is it's main thing.. And some people love reading what their favorite celebrities are doing, i am not so fond of that though.. it gets boring after a while.

If I am not mistaken writing on twitter is just the same like writing on your facebook wall. For those who like to update their status on facebook they might like twitter as well. I have it but don't use it. It popular among celebrities as the could inform their fans in just a blink of an eye.(^^)

Oh, then it must be very useful to you, since all your updates are easily seen by your followers.. But i think facebook would also be good.. Maybe you should have both to have the most exposure.

Oh, so twitter lacks many features that facebook has. Maybe it is to prevent celebrities from being bombarded by chat messages of their fans. Tey'd go crazy sine they have millions of fans.

i think Facebook is better than twitter because there we have to post and see others post send request and chat with them but in twiter chat like option is not and follow option is annoying to many of us ,because why i follow him or her.

Oh yes, i heard that twitter does not have chat. which is sad, since there will be no chance for users to chat with both their followers and who they are following.. but they can post and tag them in posts right? Everything is just public.

I also think facebook is better than twitter too- since it is connected to a lot of sites, we can like lots of stuff and there are games too. And sending messages and chatting is very easy..

I prefer Facebook to Twitter. I have Twitter account, but I still don't understand the interesting part of this social network. Really. All I did there was only following many celebrities and read their tweet. And I got bored after a while. I haven't logged in to my Twitter account again for a few months. :)

I don't even have a twitter account, since i saw my father's account and it was only one page.. All there was, was following celebrities and having followers.. It does get boring just reading what's happening with other people's lives.

I think both are just the same. Both Facebook and Twitter have the same concept and user interface. You can comment/reply, post pictures, etc. The difference is just you can't sort your pictures on Twitter and create separate albums unlike in Facebook. But in terms of online fights, it's both the same. That's why I don't spend so much time on both social networking sites anymore.I don't get paid by posting anyway, unlike in myLot. Hehe! Both Facebook and Twitter has earned their fame by celebrity promotions/endorsements anyway. Most people were lured to signing up because their celebrity idol is using it. Then, the information about that website has been passed on by people by inviting their friends to join them so it won't be lonely being on that website alone. It's somehow helpful by connecting prep school friends,long lost best friends, knowing your relatives from far away, etc. But some people abuse the "democracy" so much by even posting their rants publicly which is not good. Social networking sites in general is supposed to connect people, not destroy relationships (like love or friendships).

Yes, it is just the people that misuse sites like these. Both sites re good for connecting with people, but then otehrs just abuse it by making gossip or harassing people.

Yas, i love that kind of commercial too - since the celebrities are setting an example to their fans and they give tips too. I hope many otehr celebrities join in that campaign and even otehr networks..

no, both twitter and facebook is the same. they are just social network as part of technology advance. the problem is on each person whose lifestyle influence with both too much. most of people is now likely complaint problem on facebook or twitter than telling their friend or family. it's such same that people now use the social network to fight or made a controversy status, they should have better place to shout it out and keep their attitude because everyone may read their status

Oh yes, they are both social networking sites with different features. But i mostly hear celebrities fighting in twitter.. I agree, they should think before posting anything since everyone sees what they post.

Twitter is famous because of the celebrities. Some scientific peoples are available there. They inform to follower some good things. Most of the peoples don't aware of those good things in it. They always fond of celebrities message and follow them. They like it most. But it is waste of time. I don't use twitter often. I use it only for accepting friend request and improve my blogger community.

Yeah, most celebrities are there, maybe because there is no chatting- and it seems like a one way thing.. not much interaction.. i don't like it since everything can be seen by the followers though.
