Comments on: Facebook vs. Twitter: How will you stream your world?

Facebook's redesigned news feed is visually more appealing and easier to filter, but Twitter has openness and searchability on its side.

Simple, Facebook has an app developed by twitter that syncs the two services, and updates on both sides when you post on twitter or use twitter's app on facebook.

"But Facebook's advantage is that the revamped news feed can handle different types of content, too: it'll have actual photos and event listings instead of TwitPic and TinyURL links"

That is a clear winner, and I am anxious to see how the iPhone app will handle it

I think the big picture story is being missed here. The new version of Pages combined with the real time nature of News Feed will bring RSS-like capabilities to the masses. While Twitter can also do this, it is not nearly as mainstream yet as Facebook is. http://tinyurl.com/amj5jn

Twitter is stupid. No one uses it except for serious geeks. Facebook defeated Myspace, so don't expect Twitter to prevail.

hey fanboy facebook may have overtaken myspace on traffict but no where near revanues. where myspace leads 3 to1. and myspace is evolving each day (as facebook and twitter) so why don't you get out of the sandbox and see the big picture. all 3 have great potential. i had all 3 and pretty much have them sync so what I update on one site gets posted on the other. but for me a myspace twitter combo is better than facebook. and yes twitter will prevail as a stand alone or via a merge that can come from your god facebook or may be google or myspace or someone else becouse prospective buyers are lining up becouse they do see the potential not like you fanboy.

If the word privacy mean nothing today, imagine what it will mean tomorrow when the smallest detail of your life is known by complete strangers. Sorry, but I'm not so concerned with the inner worlds of my friends and relatives that I have to be kept on the bleeding edge of events in their lives. Maybe one day, people will learn to live their own lives and catch up with the events in their friends lives when they actually meet them face to face, or suffer with letters, e-mail and phone calls when they can't. Wiht this tweeting stuff going on all the time, it makes one wonder what they'll ever talk about in the off chance they actually do meet in the first place.

Yes, the computerized dehumanization of mankind... It won't be long before two people will be texting each other, not realizing that they are sharing the same table at a restaurant!

Face book is different type of entertainment,i m intended to enjoy these advantage with put my actual photos , information and events also request to others to do the same.

facebook does everything twitter does and more so theres no reason to even go, i have myspace but thats so cluttered and ads that are too big, facebook has everyone and your mom on it so it very convenient, and the other stuff like events, and other stuff like that just makes thing a breeze

I'm on MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter and other social sites to socially market my safety and security web site and raise awareness for the products through interaction with friends there. Maintaining too many sites can be a challenge so I'm considering working mainly with FaceBook and Twitter . I think they will serve my purpose best.

I update facebook via twitter :D

Oh, Carolyn. I love groupies like you. You make me giggle like a little girl.

Twitter is "hot" and that's why you've jumped on the bandwagon. Be objective, though. What in god's name does it have to offer? Really nothing. It's useless unless you want to plug your business or follow a celebrity. Once the celebrities get bored with Twitter, it's done. No one really gives a rat's ass that President of Company X was quoted in the New York Times except for President of Company X and his wife.

I give Twitter until early next year and something will replace it. Twitter will be long forgotten by 2011. Mark my words.

'On a related note, this gives aggregation services like FriendFeed a run for their money--why join an external "all-in-one-place" service when the same content is available on Facebook?'

The question is for organic Search Engine Optimization(SEO) which aggregation work best? Currently Friendfeed beats Facebook
