Facebook is full fledged social media site while twitter is a micro blogging site. Neither of them can be explained fully in a single post.

Well, both are social networking websites and having their own set of advantages.
Twitter is one form of micro blogging.

Where as facebook is much more than that.
- You can publish your wall posts
- Create your own applications
- Buy your own ads
- Personalize your wall
- You can organize events, contest and so on

For me, facebook is better platform for marketing.

Now a days Facebook is very famous in all over the world. Many people like Facebook to make friend and advertise their business .

On facebook, you basically share what you have done with others.
On Twitter, you tell people what you want to do.

This is what is the difference between these two social sites to me anyway.

1. Different audiences – Not everyone who uses Twitter is on Facebook and not everyone who uses Facebook is on Twitter. As of February 2011, more people ages 18-25 were on Facebook, while people ages 26-44 were much more prominent on Twitter. Who is your target audience?

2. Different uses - Twitter allows you to post 140 characters at a time, while Facebook allows you to post 420 characters at a time. This doesn’t mean you should automatically go to Facebook for more space. Twitter is great for posting articles, announcements and short updates (there are apps that will allow you to post longer updates that will open in a webpage). Facebook allows you to get into a little bit more detail, create events, post photos and more.

3. The ability to post updates to both - It will be an annoyance for anyone who follows you on both Twitter and Facebook, but if you have a limited amount of time to dedicate to social media each week, you can hook up Twitter to update when a new post is added on Facebook or vice versa.

4. Search engines like social media – All things in online marketing eventually come back to search engine optimization. Search engines such as Google and Bing do listen to what is going on with both Twitter and Facebook. If your Twitter timeline is public there is a good chance your tweets will get indexed. Recent changes to Facebook are allowing pages to be indexed. This allows for more keywords and a better chance to draw users into your business.

Facebook is on the top, its the best Social Network! I always prefer it, as it is my favorite

Facebook is different from twitter because in Facebook there is so many apps, sharing videos, chat with friend and you can say that Facebook is a complete package. But twitter hasn't contained such features.

Many people joined Facebook simply because so many other people and businesses they know were there. It's hard to argue with 750 million users. And it's not just numbers -- people tend to use the site frequently and stay for awhile.

Both are good at their place. But, now most of users like Facebook because its too user friendly and there are most of good and usable things which create lots of buzz on the website which is really good as marketing point of view and Facebook gives option chat with friends but twitter has no any option to chat but its also good to get visits on website.
