Why Twitter is better than Facebook

    1. Firstly, Facebook is a social networking site. Twitter is a micro-blogging site.

2       2. News! Follow at least one news channel/ newspaper/ something’s twitter profile. Also, trending topics give a good amount of information – especially with the new twitter.*

         3. Gossip. Everyone’s the other person’s friend in Facebook. Bitching cannot be open enough. Twitter is slightly better because, trust me, not all your friends know how to use it and they never bother checking after making an account just for the heck of it.

         6. There are no photo albums titled “MeHhhHh <3”.

         8. You’re not compelled to reply to every mention.

         9. News reaches you first, in every form – sarcasm, fact, mockery, and joke. Anything you want.

        10. You can mention anyone and kick their butts or praise them or do whatever. They won’t notice, they won’t care and if you’re good, you’ll be retweeted!

^# - contradictory, but true also. When you want to tweet a lot, you want to sound sensible.
