The Real Difference Between Twitter and Facebook

Ask yourself this:
How many friends have you made because of Facebook?
now ask yourself:
How many friends have you made because of Twitter?
I would posit that for most people the answer to the first question would be zero and for the second I'd bet it's certainly more than one.

Guess which service I find the most value in?

The bulk of my income over the last two years has been a direct result of connections made on Twitter. Facebook hasn't paid me shit!

That's why I've never understood the pro-Facebook people who say Twitter is stupid. I don't like Facebook but I get why others do - it's a great way to keep in touch with other people (who only use Facebook). Most of them just don't get that some of us actually like making *new* friends and finding *new* opportunities. Of course I realize I'm preaching to the choir here.

I think it may have more to do with how you use either. I've use each. I've met quite a few very cool people on FB.

Where to find me:

On Twitter: @jaytennier - follow me, I'm funny.

supergenius.ca - You don't have to go there. It looks almost exactly like this only with less words.
