As the year 2010 finally crawls to an end, you will literally find yourself wading in heaps of materials ranging from chronological events of the year to top list of various things.
Coming to social networking sites, we are not going to talk about the obvious “who’s the top social networking site?” but have a look at an interesting comparison between the two most popular social networking site – Facebook vs. Twitter.
The nice infographics below that compares Facebook users to Twitter users was put together by Digital Surgeons.
As you can see, between Facebook and Twitter:
- There are some interesting similarities like:
- Majority users of both the sites are outside the United States
- About one third of users login using mobile devices.
- Gender breakdown is about the same with the fairer sex accounting for bigger portion of the pie.
And some key differences:
- While more Facebook users check their account regularly, it’s the Twitter users who are more religiously updating their status.
- Twitter users are more matured and educated than Facebook users.
- An important fact for businesses out there, even if Twitter users are less interested in following brands, they are more likely to purchase that specific brand.
Keeping those interesting facts aside, both the site have enjoyed tremendous popularity and growth and will most probably enjoy similar growth in the coming year.
But the bottom line is – One year from now, where do you see these two sites standing?
