Twitter is simply a small place where you put in a really mini blog called a “tweet” about what you want to write (as long as you are not directly insulting someone).

It’s really useful say what you are thinking quickly, and because of its simplicity it loads up pretty well on mobile. You can also link URLs to link people to other sites so they can look at what you are talking about. You can also upload pictures, and you can link your tweet to hashtags so similar tweets are seen together.

As usual, it has its disadvantages. 140 characters (this includes spaces) is really tiny. Also, if you follow someone and they retweet some image that’s NSFW you will see them as well (they fixed that for some time now)

Facebook. Most of us reading this would probably have one. If not, then you have obviously heard about it. Literally kids and their parents would probably have or at least had one account. Or three.

Let’s start off with what people use it for. Networking, uploading pictures/videos/articles for their friends to see, to see what is going on with someone etc. Very useful to put up your status or what you are thinking (The textbox literally has  “What’s on your mind?” on it so you feel compelled to write something).

Facebook does have a few problems with it though. Especially if you are the type of person who would upload drunk photos or baby photos (not really related, but drunk babies?! That would cross the line!) What do I mean by a few problems? Simple. If you have a Facebook account, and you forgot to change your privacy settings, anyone and everyone can see them. Even your employers might take a look at what you post to see what kind of person you are. Also the notifications that you receive might not be so important or some very important notifications are covered by a swamp of other stupid notifications.
