It’s difficult to tell if Twitter will remain as popular as Facebook over the next few years, or whether they should be compared at all. As I said, Facebook is definately the flavour of the month but we have seen other social media sites rise and fall in equal measure and it would be silly not to at least consider the chance of it happening to facebook as well.

As I said, most of my friends have stopped updating their facebook accounts as frequently as they used to.

Thing is though, I don’t know if they should be compared as they are completely different sites. Also, you have to realise that due to the API, Twitter is very flexible and allows programmers to design scripts to connect to Twitter in a lot of different ways

In some ways FB has been battling an identity crisis recently due in part to a legal team/advisors that attempted to make administrative decisions for indecisive CEO Mark Zuckerberg and failed miserably(i.e. – mommy’s breast feeding and terms of services).

Even though I may be in the minority by staying loyal to Facebook and not starting a Twitter account, FB will have longevity because their is substance behind it whereas Twitter is fluff and will more than likely be a fad.
