7 Reasons Why I’d Rather Use Twitter Over Other Social Networks

Oct 05 2009 View Comments

twitter blog The wars of social networks will never end. Which network is really the best? Who cares! I have a lot of fun on a ton of social networks. You can find a list of social networks and communities I’m active on here. Each community is neat and offers something different. Some look better than others.

Still, the Twitter community always finds a way to outshine the others in one way or another for me. Here are 7 reasons why it’s easier for me to gravitate towards Twitter over other networks:

  1. Conversation start a lot easier on Twitter.
  2. Customer service has never been this good. No more machines!
  3. I don’t care that you reached level 7 of Sorority Life. The game invites must stop!
  4. There’s no friend limit or I’d have missed making some really awesome connections.
  5. I notice more people sharing great content from their personal network of trusted sources on Twitter.
  6. Real news travels on Twitter faster.
  7. Do you ever get the feeling celebs are more likely to see you or your work on Twitter before Facebook? I sure do.

Connections

chat There are hundreds of reasons why I like Twitter, but I’d like to read more about what you like and why you connect with the communities you’re active in.

  • What is your favorite social platform?
  • What communities do you find yourself gravitating towards the most?
  • What are some communities you’d like to start being more active in? LinkedIn is one for me.

    Twitter is my personal SM fave, as well — primarily for your Reason #5. See list: http://bit.ly/G6L9m

    Agreed, Twitter is SO much easier, particularly for starting a conversation, for the fact that there's just less 'stuff' to wade through! Less features, less clutter means it's just easier to get to the heart of the matter and COMMUNICATE dammit! Plus you can more easily and efficiently curate the info you send and receive. I like Facebook for more involved interactions with people I actually know. Twitter is better for meeting new people.

    I like Twitter because it's all about information. It makes it easy to share information with many people that I don't know. Facebook et al. seem better at keeping people who know each other in touch.

    I agree! Knowledge sharing was taken to a whole new level with Twitter. Thanks for posting this.

    No problem Adam. Glad you could find value in it!

    There's no hate. Twitter is just misunderstood sometimes.

    Trying hard to master the Twitter experience, I do recognize it's value and hope to really “get it” someday soon!
