==Twitter==
As a user of both services, I find Twitter to be much less personal and not social networking like. A feed is a good description of activity at Twitter. It's like having a latest in the news page. URL links are predominately of news stories. While both Twitter and Facebook share some characteristics, such as ego trip to gain more followers, Twitter is not a place to hang out hours upon end; no games, no built-in picture exchange (must use 3rd party services for this), hardly any compilation of personal data, no advertising. I do take exception to this statement,
''"facebook pages or twitter feeds, where the near-total absence of conservative voices allows the most absurd nonsense to be applauded by 'followers'." ''
I seek out and friend only conservatives. Absurd nonsense is frowned upon and you know you are in the wrong when followers leave you. I do feel much of the information presented is repetitive. If you are anti-Obama such as me and you friend like-minded individuals, a steady feed of negativity is present day after day. Does the good outweigh the bad? The jury is out.
