Twitter and Facebook

Okay so this has become a major topic in today’s society, these are probably some of the two most important websites for getting information out there for people to see. Some people have made it their lives and are on these websites 24/7 because they are apparently hooked. There are even reports that OBAMA has twitter, how crazy is that? But it might not be such a bad thing.

Honestly I think these websites aren’t as bad as people might their they are, just because people are chatting online and are intertwined in each others lives, does not mean that they will stop social gatherings and actually seeing people, if anything this makes us all more connected and gives us the opportunity to communicate with a range of people, instead of not doing anything, but I don’t think someone would substitute talking on twitter or Facebook instead of actually being with the real person. Now im all for this, these are pretty amazing websites that allow people to communicate and they don’t necessarily allow personal information to be given out if you choose not to do so, so they aren’t really dangerous unless you make them. They are great communication websites, that even our president has, so he can be connected to the public, even though he must have like a billion fans, it’s a good way for him to connect with our society on a different level. These are just the gateway to a higher communication where people can interact more often, but I don’t think it will actually decrease the amount that people see each other in real life.

I have heard that twitter is becoming better than Facebook. To my knowledge I can’t even make that assumption because I don’t have a twitter account, not because I don’t want one but just because I don’t feel like making one and learning how to use it. But I don’t understand how people are choosing one over the other, probably because you can get more information out of a lot more people on twitter, but it seems limited with only a 140 word restriction. But in any case these are still two great websites that help out our society and broaden the range of communication for people all around the globe.
