Twitter and Facebook is the fastest growing social media network worldwide. Of course, Facebook wins if we compare it with number of registered users. There are some people preferring Facebook over Twitter and some others prefer Twitter over Facebook. Basically, most social media expert advices to use both social media network when it comes to marketing. Each platform has its own advantages. I love to play games on Facebook and share it with my friends and family members. Most of the time spent on Facebook by commenting on photos and taking part in games. I guess that is what most Facebook users do. No wonder it can beat Yahoo and get second place ranking in terms of traffic (after Google).
Compared to Twitter (103k followers), my Facebook only have 150+ friends (family members, relatives and school-college friends). I still spend more time on Facebook compared to Twitter. Sometimes, I don’t even send out one tweet in a week but I will send at least one comment in Facebook in a day. For me, Facebook is more addictive compare to Twitter. With the varieties in Facebook, new users may find it complex and slow. But, those who already used to the system will not give up facebook for twitter. In my opinion, Twitter may take two to three years time to reach current level of Facebook (comparing to registered users, traffic, page views, etc).
However, with immediate response received and the famous retweet options helps get our message viral in Twitter. When it comes to marketing, I still prefer to use Twitter compared to Facebook. The way our message gets viral with RT and chances of getting exponential traffic to our site. I have slowly reduced the dependencies from Entrecard, thanks to Twitter. If you are tired of dropping 300 cards a day to get 100+ UV from Entrecard daily, you should try out Twitter instead. It is a powerful substitute for Entrecard traffic with lesser bounce rate and higher conversion. So for now, I will still use both platform for totally different purpose. Facebook is for playing games and keeping in touch with childhood-school-college friends, family members and relatives. Twitter for blog marketing.
