Social media has become one of the most important parts of our daily lifes.
Facebook and Twitter are two of the most popular ones.
Which one do you prefer? Please, share your thoughts and experiences
Facebook has more opportunities to offer you, Twitter is just to say a phrase and give a link.
Both are complementary, no doubt about that! In the academic and scientific world far more serious information is shared via twitter. Facebook seems to be lighter, in this respect.
I use facebook more than teitter, but both are spend the time.
My dear @Jesus, I do have both accounts, twitter: jacic012 and facebook: ljubomir jacic! I am not so often present there with posts. I do use twitter mainly for fast political information, for news, as facebook is related to friends and fun. There are some serious scientific groups at facebook also!
Dear Jesus,
I'm on Facebook and not on Twitter. I found lot of interesting and inspiring sources for learning and lot of news from all over the world. Besides I like online techologies a lot and enjoy conversations, thinking that various people are much inspiring. Also I have there more private contacts with colleagues from professional environments and can chat with friends from different phases of my life, even from primary school. I agree with Ljubomir, there are also serious grups on FB.
Both are different and for different purpose.
FB - Socialization Circles... I use it for posting pictures of social events
Tweet - keep in touch with short texts over large mass..... have an account , but not operating
I prefer both, because I can read and analyze interesting information from all over the world.Facebook is more comfortable for working, for communication, for uploading.There are a lot of illustrative materials, useful for my work in Facebook.
I prefer FB, as it has variety of functions mentioned by dear Krishnan.
Perhaps I´m old fashioned, but I prefer none of both. For me they are too open for abuse and too much commerce.
Any one of "Facebook" or "Twitter" or Both. Both are tools of social media. However Facebook is having more utility than Twitter.
Like most feedbacks, I have both, but I prefer Facebook - not just posting pictures manually, pictures from Instagram can be posted there too.
As Dear Bozsik mentioned I prefer none of them. I have registered in both but they really don't meet my needs and I hardly ever log in them.
@ Bahram, Roland and Fatimah
I too feel the same, that both these network sites are of lesser relevance and lighter in content share. At times its more of fun and also has more options for misuse and negative consequences.
I have a face book page but not twitter. Have no time to add another social Web.
I prefer Facebook. Twitter isn't popular in my country. It’s more effective, and more convenient. It's more vivid form than Twitter because of instant interaction.
While facebook offers more affordances, I think Twitter is used more by younger demographics
Twitter is becoming more popular among politicians, professionals, businessmen, social workers, and TV news channels.
Twitter, is rather more news and political comments whereas Facebook is more a social media!
Dear all,
Good day,
@ Roland, also I prefer ResearchGate.
Regards
@ Roland & Fateh, i am on RG like you people, when bored i hop into FB with my friends.
Only RG is for learning and valuable communication.I use Facebook and Twitter,wishing to find interesting information,too.Vimeo and Youtube are for listening music and watching news and films.Useful social nets contain a lot of materials for students.
As I have mentioned in my previous answer about my accounts at FB and Twitter, I do also use LinkedIN sometimes, where I do have an account also. The most of the time regarding social networks, I do spend at ResearchGate. Tabs for other social networks are always active, just for case.
Dear Ljubomir Jacić,
Yes, I also spend more time on RG. I am also using LinkedIn , as it gas also a good research Q/A platform. But I use occasionally.
Usually, users of social media portals use these portals in a variety of ways, including the time devoted to a given social media portal. How much time internet users devote to particular portals is determined by many factors related to citizens' preferences regarding the expected Internet information services as well as technical characteristics, editorial capabilities, etc. of individual social media portals.
Recently, I rarely look at both Facebook and the Tweeter. However, it is difficult to answer the question which of these social media portals is better because they are incomparable. They differ significantly on many issues and, most importantly, on the possibility of graphic layout of inserted posts and limitations on the volume of text entered in posts and comments.
Best wishes
Dear Ljubomir Jacić,
I think Twitter & Facebook are wasting time... I prepare RG & LinkedIn
Research Gate is for learning and valuable communication
Twitter & Facebook are: to find interesting information and for wasting time .
If you want to improve the visibility of your research articles, share them on twitter.
They are much of social stuffs rather than research or scholarly stuff, so none of them.
I use to chart a lot on Facebook when I was young but now I prefer research gate where I get to learn more about science and engineering.
