In my very humble opinion, facebook seems to be a social networking site that enables you to talk to people you know or at least you know of, so seems quite socially stressful, you can’t say what you are really doing, you can’t say what your really thinking, because you don’t want to upset/annoy/inform the people you have to live with, day in and day out, what is honestly going on in your life, in your head. Whereas, in my humble opinion, twitter seems to be a social networking site where you tell strangers, sometimes hundreds or thousands of strangers, exactly what you are doing and exactly what you are thinking, without stress, without harm, without destroying the social facade we all have, so not to upset/annoy/inform the people you have to live with, day in and day out, what is honestly going on in your life and in your head. I like twitter.

so what happens when your family or friends follow your tweets?
ReplyDeleteVery good point. But I’ve found that with facebook you feel forced into adding family and friends, whereas with twitter, you aren’t obligated to follow or be followed by anyone.
ReplyDeleteI refer you to the facebook episode of south park - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SgkfghupFE
