Facebook or Twitter

The question has been asked once or twice. Maybe a bit more than that.
But the answer is not available. Sure there are tons of rants and flames and trolls answering but they mean very little when it comes to wondering what to use and how it works. Facebook? or Twitter?
How does Facebook work? how does Twitter work?
To begin, you must have one friend on either network, or they both get very boring very fast.
Then again, you can always make new friends, but you have to be willing to go out of the normal operation of either network.
Facebook
Facebook is a quiet little place where you can see updates of your friend’s current events. If your friend posts them to their Facebook account. Many people have a program on their cell phone, called an “app”. This app allows them to post to their Facebook account while they are out and about in public. This allows them to say stuff like ” at Raging meatball concert and saw a man stage dive on to a crowd of women”. This let’s all of their friends know, that they are at a raging meatball concert and they saw someone stage dive (jump from stage high into and on top of a crowd) landing on women. With Facebook you can type very long messages for your friends to read and add videos directly to your page so your friends can watch them. In most cases that is true. Except with the Facebook application on your phone, you can only type 140 characters. Most people use the Facebook app. On Facebook you can search your old school, or your old job and find people who like that place, now you may or may not have similar interests beyond that , but hey you can always try by adding them as a friend. Beyond that, you kind of have to already know the person before they become your friend. You also get bombarded with requests to join people in a game they play online. And there are millions of games on Facebook. So the requests come constant. all you can do is ignore each game as it it sent. Eventually you will block every game that everyone of your friends play.

You can upload many photos and many videos to Facebook.

Twitter

With twitter, you have a very fast past messaging system if you have enough friends or as they are called on Twitter, “followers”. Really you can follow anyone and watch their activity stream. On twitter you have the chance to block someone specific from seeing your Twitter stream or Twitter posts at any time. not many people bother with that. Hard part is adding people to follow, and even harder is adding people to follow you. That is of course if you use the Twitter system for adding friends. There are however, a few websites that let you find people under specific interests Like WeFollow. This allows you to program the information you see on your twitter page, and have it defined by interests or locations.You can upload photos and videos  to other systems that work with Twitter.

You can add news channels on Twitter and get news updates before anyone. you can add your favorite musician on twitter and find out what the heck she/he is thinking before they go on stage.

Downside is there are a bunch of spammer on twitter, so be ready to get nailed with crummy laptop deals. So choose the people you follow, carefully.

An Open Letter from Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg

Copied and pasted from facebook, Sorry I have no say on anything here except ‘What do you expect???”

It has been a great year for making the world more open and connected. Thanks to your help, more than 350 million people around the world are using Facebook to share their lives online.

To make this possible, we have focused on giving you the tools you need to share and control your information. Starting with the very first version of Facebook five years ago, we’ve built tools that help you control what you share with which individuals and groups of people. Our work to improve privacy continues today.

Facebook’s current privacy model revolves around “networks” — communities for your school, your company or your region. This worked well when Facebook was mostly used by students, since it made sense that a student might want to share content with their fellow students.

Over time people also asked us to add networks for companies and regions as well. Today we even have networks for some entire countries, like India and China.

However, as Facebook has grown, some of these regional networks now have millions of members and we’ve concluded that this is no longer the best way for you to control your privacy. Almost 50 percent of all Facebook users are members of regional networks, so this is an important issue for us. If we can build a better system, then more than 100 million people will have even more control of their information.

The plan we’ve come up with is to remove regional networks completely and create a simpler model for privacy control where you can set content to be available to only your friends, friends of your friends, or everyone.

We’re adding something that many of you have asked for — the ability to control who sees each individual piece of content you create or upload. In addition, we’ll also be fulfilling a request made by many of you to make the privacy settings page simpler by combining some settings. If you want to read more about this, we began discussing this plan back in July.

Since this update will remove regional networks and create some new settings, in the next couple of weeks we’ll ask you to review and update your privacy settings. You’ll see a message that will explain the changes and take you to a page where you can update your settings. When you’re finished, we’ll show you a confirmation page so you can make sure you chose the right settings for you. As always, once you’re done you’ll still be able to change your settings whenever you want.

We’ve worked hard to build controls that we think will be better for you, but we also understand that everyone’s needs are different. We’ll suggest settings for you based on your current level of privacy, but the best way for you to find the right settings is to read through all your options and customize them for yourself. I encourage you to do this and consider who you’re sharing with online.

Thanks for being a part of making Facebook what it is today, and for helping to make the world more open and connected.

Add People to Your Myspace MyMobster List

Some people have been using a program for myspace mobster from a site mymobster.info.

My guess is you are giving away your myspace password. plus it’s just wrong and kind of a cheat, it’s like faking you have a bunch of friends. Obviously no one likes a cheater. then again, it’s a whole lot better than having a bunch of kids adding strangers to their friends list just to increase their mobster list.

I myself chose the old fashioned way

myspace.com/truxter add me and invite me

If you want, post yours here and let people invite you. There are alot of people who read this daily.

If you request an add, please leave a message saying MOBSTER with the request..
