"The Crucial differences between Facebook and Twitter"

Today everybody talks about Facebook and Twitter. Those are the most popular public spaces where people exchange information and communicate. The article I read explains the main differences between those two spaces. First of all it is well known that Facebook is a more personal space than Twitter. Twitter is used in a professional way wether as Facebook is used by most people to publish their life on it.
Nowadays more and more hotels and other companies are as well using Facebook and Twitter.
Both these spaces give the opportunity to users to express themselfs about a product or company and in that way turn a bad experience into a good one.
The Second thing is that Facebook encourages people to give feedback and it works also like that. THanks to the like button people  can esaily see if the statement is popular,...
Twitter is more a space for allerts. A lot of companies use this space to place allerts. For instance, Virgin Airlines inform their passengers through Twitter about flight delays.

Both Twitter and Facebook are well known space. When you think about a space where you put statement about yourself or what you think in that very specific moment, you will rather use a facebook because it is where you find your friends from way behind.
If you are thinking about creating a professional network, you will rather use Twitter because most people say it is more professional.
I would say use whatever you want but be aware of what you put on the internet because once it is done you can't take the information or image back and it may influence the way people think about you.

  1. Nowadays, it is all about social media and social networks. People can use whatever network they work they want, in fact they just need to tell stories about their lives (on facebook) or about their companies (on twitter). For the moment their is a crucial difference between facebook and twitter until there is something new or something better breaking down the market and everybody will use it for both professional and personal aspect.
