    Which one do you like and why? And which one do you use the most often? I use both of them, but I recently got into twitter more.

    I am not on Facebook, I don't like it and I value my privacy. I use Twitter, anonymously. Once or twice over the last two years, it has been useful, but I think I may give it up. There is just too much crap. I think it hurts my concentration.

    I personally think Facebook is awesome. I don't just use it for contact communication, in fact, I don't even talk to any one on there but it lets me know when good bands are coming, what they're up to, sports news, team news etc. etc. etc. all in one app :D

    I use both but prefer Twitter, Facebook is for connecting to the people around town since no one wants to use a real phone and actually talk anymore and it is how people set appointments and stuff

    I used Twitter a lot more than Facebook.
    I don't have a Facebook account because I find it boring most of the times. But this is just me.

    I deactivated my twitter because I never used it and I kept getting emails that it was getting hacked.

    I have facebook but I get really tired of all the drama on there sometimes. I feel like it gives you a false sense of relationship with someone just because you read their status updates. I've had people from high school that I don't know very well come up to me at a store and strike up conversations like we're best friends only to have it fade quickly because we only know what each other says on fb. It's awkward.

    I'm glad facebook exists.. it gives me a place to express evil. I don't like twitter.. the only reason I use it is to stalk my kids. I think MySpace has a golden opportunity to revive the internet by returning to its original design. I bet people would go back to it in a heartbeat. YouTube drives me bonkers for *constantly* changing it's layout / design. I wish they'd knock it the hell off.

    Since I discovered twitter, facebook has seen little use. On twitter I can discuss with a whole lot of people and debates are possible simultaneously with others; not so on facebook where you have to be accepted as a "friend" for many things to be accessible

    I do a daily "Tweet" (which migrates automatically to FB) (And includes U-Tube music video)

    FB is a way I stay connected with those friends lost through Time, Geography and/or circumstances
    Big Brother already knows who I am - so though I am somewhat cautious of whom I 'add', I find it a nice socially interactive media ... oh. and do not take it that seriously :)

    I fucking hate Facebook. Tried it about 3-4 years ago and it bored the living shit out of me. Unless you have family in far away places or you're a business it's a HUGE waste of time. Plus it's loaded with freaking idiots.

    I like Twitter. It's fast, simple and to the point.
