I use Twitter and Facebook differently. Facebook has conversations. Twitter is more a shout into the darkness.
I follow interesting people on Twitter. Some are funny. Some are profane. A few are silly.
Each describes himself in a self written mini bio.

Not all of them are active tweeters. I just like them in my eclectic mix. Clever people. The world in 140 characters.
Breaking news shows up on Twitter faster than any other source. That’s correct whether the rumor is true or false!
The response I get on Facebook dwarfs what I get from Twitter. Still learning.
I have both accounts but am definitely more active on Facebook that Twitter! I’ve very selective who I follow on Twitter because if I don’t watch out I’m reading the same post 4 times because everyone is sharing it! Which annoys me on Facebook when I follow people on both – which do I eliminate? their twitter or their facebook!?
When my brain starts thinking in 140 characters I know I’m in trouble!
