If you read my lifefeed you might notice that often I would have an item with the same status from Twitter and then from Facebook. The reason this happens is because I have the Twitter Facebook app which automatically copies my Twitter updates and posts them as Facebook status updates.
That’s a bit redundant, and one of the reason why I don’t end up using Twitter as much as I could. The other reason is because no one pays attention to my Twitter so I might as well be talking in an empty forest.
But I think I’ve finally figured out why I would want to use Twitter over Facebook. On Facebook, my status gets spammed to all my Facebook friends, but it only gets to those people. Whereas my Twitter updates are unprotected, and most importantly, they are searchable. If I have 140 character tidbits of information that I would like the world to know, they should go on Twitter, while inside jokes should stay on Facebook. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize this.
