Since I discovered status updates in Facebook, what seems to be a long time ago now. I have used it pretty much constantly, updating my status all the time. But then along came Twitter, now I didn’t quite understand twitter at first but as I listened to other’s who have used it and understood more about it, it’s slowly grown on me. I love twitter for the simple reason that you can recieve updates from only the people you want to recieve them from and you don’t have to worry about reading through some of the garbage that goes through Facebook. Over the course of about a year I have found myself now tweeting constantly and forgetting all about Facebook status updates.
On one hand Facebook updates allow all of my friends and family to know what I’m doing as they are on that social network and haven’t yet taken up the Twitter craze. However since purchasing my iPhone about 9 months ago it has been so much easier to use a single app which is solely dedicated to posting updated via ‘tweets’, and because my attention span seems to be a little short sometimes I find myself not bothering to update Facebook. I think that twitter is something that needs to be used hand in hand with something like an iPhone or Blackberry, because you have to be able to jump on and update it randomly. Having to go to the twitter website kind of defeats the purpose.
Never the less I have just found a facebook app that allows your twitter feed to be automatically fed into your facebook status update, therefore updating both at once. I’m not sure if I’m going to find that usefull or annoying as sometimes I like to keep the two separate, another thought, how would it go if you have to do an @reply. Nobody on facebook is going to know what your talking about?!!? We shall see
