Twitter or Facebook?

[anonymousegirl]

I am getting my first smartphone (iPhone 3GS) this weekend and I am looking forward to getting all sorts of great aps. I would like to do updates when i am at the parks about wait times, crowds, heat, etc.

I know FB has an ap and I was checking out Twitter. I am not sure if the FB ap replaces Twitter or not. I am not sure any of my friends have Twitter.

SHould I do both or just one or the other?

I have both but I use Facebook a lot more than Twitter.

I have both too, and I used Facebook a lot. I haven't really gotten the hang of Twitter.

I am a facebooker - I can only keep up with one at a time.

Facebook!

I'm technically on both but never really check Twitter.

I like Facebook a lot more than Twitter, even though I use both. It's a guilty pleasure of mine to follow famous people on Twitter, and I feel like it's a new and different way for me to express myself. That being said, I only have about 10 followers since no one I know uses it.

I have a twitter account but I never ever use it. I use Facebook all the time, though. I like it better.

Love, love, LOVE Facebook.

There is a tool within Facebook that allows your Twitter updates to also update your FB status! This, for me, is killing two birds with one stone.

I have seperate audiences on FB and on Twitter, so I can write the same things and have it reach both groups. I see this as the best of both worlds.

I second Tauwillow.

Twitter is easier to update because its a quick thing. You can "follow" touringplans.com (they have a twitter name) and send them updates, which they post on their own twitter. It helps others who are in the parks! When I am in disneyworld, i'll say things like "On line for Splash Mountain!" using my iphone twitter app. It updates my twitter (which most people are following) and updates my facebook at the same time.

I third Tauwillow.

I try to remember to use Twitter cause it also updates my blog as well as my FB account so I get 3 places with one post, not that I think I am so important that I need all three but I have the capabilities so I do it hehehe

I have both, but I prefer facebook because it is more interactive. You can set facebook to update your status everytime you Tweet to help maintain 2 accounts, if you want to use both.

I have both, but like many others, I use my Facebook account more than I do my twitter account.

I think in the case of doing quick posts from the park (sights and sounds, wait times, etc) Twitter will be a more relevant application. Facebook is more of an "interactive" site - posting your status, and having comments to that status all contained in one area. Twitter, on the other hand, seems to be a more "time-sensitive" site - in other words, "here is what I'm seeing right now".

I went to a massive 4-day music festival up here in Michigan over the 4th of July weekend, covering it for a local TV station's website. Twitter was the best application in my arsenal, as far as keeping readers/followers informed about what I was seeing, as I was seeing it. I can definitely see the advantages of using Twitter for a Disney visit.

Wow. That got long. Hopefully it was helpful? Sorry if it was not ; )
