3 ways Twitter is better than Facebook

1. Twitter Secrets – When tweeting at someone or replying and your first character in the tweet is the “@” symbol, only those who follow you and the person you are tagging will see it that tweet.

“@socially_gold I love your blog! #Awesome” – Only those who follow you and me with see this tweet

“.@socially_gold I love your blog! #Awesome – The “.” in front of the @symbol allows everyone to see it

“The @socially_gold blog is #awesome! – Everyone that follows you will see this tweet.

2. Friending vs Following – I can follow you, and you don’t have to follow me. Unless your Twitter account is blocked, I can also view your feed without you even knowing. Once we become friends on Facebook, we are both receiving each others updates.

3. Connecting – It is considered acceptable and encouraged to follow and connect with people you don’t know on Twitter. It’s frowned upon to submit friend requests to people you do not know on Facebook.
