Twitter isn't a social network, it's an information network.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Social media is just a platform. Twitter is a very simple and immediate broadcast platform. Facebook is a very personal, when it comes to friends and when it comes to fan pages, a little bit less but still somewhat personal way to communicate.
'What is Twitter?' has always been a tough question to answer.
Social media is an information channel; it's like radio or TV... In Cisco, we made a lot of money on public protocol. I think the social media model replicates that protocol.
I know what Twitter is; I don't use it. I don't use Facebook, so luckily, it does zero to my ego.
I have a Twitter, but I'm not a tweeter... if that really makes sense.
Twitter, Facebook are so different from where I began. It's like a fire that takes off... I'm reading everybody's Twitter.
Twitter means all my friends are in my computer. All my ideas are in my computer. I can do whatever I want in there; I'm kind of... bionic.
If you're interested in expanding your network, you can't go wrong with Twitter. You don't need to be a celebrity to have fun and grow your network with Twitter.
Facebook is massive in scale and scope. Twitter is a public communication forum, but if I'm following you, you're not necessarily following me. LinkedIn is, simply, a professional network.
Twitter is not a business. I know its founders would like to think it is. It is, for the most part, a diversion.
