Very recently, the Twitterverse has increased its size. Lately, I feel like a lot of people are growing to like Twitter much more than Facebook. My best friends brother, Tony, was pressuring me into getting Twitter and because of him I have an obsession. Not so much an obsession but definitely something that wastes a lot of my time. I know I have other things to be taking care of, but Twitter is always up and I always think, “I’ll just check it for about one minute”. Twenty minutes later I’m punching my face in because I have just misused all that time!
I always see faithful Facebookers get so upset, salty even, when people say they think Twitter is better than Facebook. Which do you like more? I, personally, like Twitter. When I first had it set up, I did not like it at all. It seemed too confusing for me so I never used it until I got into college and my friend showed me the ropes. Facebook is just filled with irrelevant things anymore that consume my notifications. I get excited when I see I have notifications, but then when I click to look at them my face falls. Why? They are all Farmville or some other ridiculous game that is affiliated with Facebook, that’s why! Facebook has become more of an adult social networking site whereas Twitter is more for young adults. I’m sure there with be more adults getting Twitter in the near future leaving the young adults to move on and find some other social network to be infatuated with.
McKenzie I love that you blogged about really the two most popular social networking sites to date. I joined Twitter quite awhile ago and I am addicted! I love reading only peoples updates instead where like on Facebook you see things that are so irrelevant to you, you don’t even want to get on Facebook anymore. Twitter is basically peoples notifications on Facebook. You don’t have to mess with picture uploads that you don’t want to see or people you maybe aren’t to fond of. I think Facebook has come to older people keeping in touch with their families or younger people getting married and having babies posting pictures and statuses about their lives. I used to love Facebook. It was so addicting! I guess you can say I am addicted to Twitter now. Everyone I know either has twitter or is asking how to get it. I am honestly thinking about deleting my Facebook. The only reason that is holding me back from deleting my Facebook I think is because I have family on Facebook. I really don’t post anything on Facebook at all I just go on to entertain myself and see how others are doing. I think a lot more people are going to join twitter because it is so simple and so quick. All it is, is people telling other people about their lives and how their day is going etc. Soon enough adults are going to see that twitter is so much better than Facebook. And like you said our generation is going to have to find some other new social networking site that allows us to be us.
