Twitter's Facebook Similarities vs. Differences

I have talked to a number of people that have this expectation of Twitter being pretty similar to Facebook and not really standing out. Although I had this impression for a while, I recently began tweeting and have found it useful for a number of different things. It is easy to update, therefore easy to read what my friends and family are up to all day long. Also, you are able to follow your favorite celebrities. This is something different from Facebook because Facebook does not allow you to get near celebrities social page. However, Twitter allows you to read what their updates all day long, just like you can do with your friends. Even though Twitter is almost like Facebook statuses, it allows you to be more personable with other people, even celebrities, with replying and retweeting. The reality is that these two social networks vary greatly, and both have great things to offer! If you haven't already, give Twitter a chance! You might actually become addicted to tweeting, like me!
