Twitter or Facebook?

by richard on May 5th, 2009

My good friend over at Laksha.net recently asked the following question: “How do people decide when to post on a blog, facebook or twitter?”

I’ve been asked this question before so here are some of my thoughts…

Blog

Extremely heavy. Sort of picking up the phone to call someone.

Facebook

Somewhat heavy. Sort of sending someone an email.

Twitter

Least heavy. Sort of communicating via IM.

So just like the phone, email, and IM – all three will do the job of communicating with someone. Similary sharing thoughts and ideas using your blog, facebook or twitter are pretty much the same, but there is “appropriateness” for each. Only by using them – IMHO, will come to realize how to target your audience and choose the best means to express your self.
