For one, it's because Facebook is much more user-friendly, and easier to understand from the start; even my mother is comfortable with it, and she's the sort who's half afraid that sending an email could destroy her computer.  Twitter is more esoteric: I still don't quite understand the rules for when one uses @-notation and how one uses RT, and so forth.  I could figure it out, but most of my family and friends would not bother, and so I end up with only a few followers, and it seems kind of silly to make \"pronouncements\" to a handful of people, when I have a broader audience on Facebook.  But ironically, my Twitter audience is not only too small but too large as well: everything on Twitter is completely public, so that the whole world has access to your tweets.  Status messages on Facebook are nice ways to feel like one is a part of friends' lives even when you're miles apart; even a cheerful \"Good night all\" or an exasperated \"What a horrible day!\" helps that along.  But when one is addressing the world, one feels a need to be a little more profound, plus one may be more hesitant about potentially sharing feelings and thoughts with employers, employees, students, and so forth.</p><p>I'm pretty sure that there are uses of Twitter that I haven't discovered yet, and which may be of interest to me.  I've heard it said that it works wonderfully as a discussion board, along the lines of IRC perhaps.  But it's been very hard for me to get a foothold in it.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\"

Where I live I rely on a very unreliable transportation system called the MBTA. Sometime people like to toss them selves on the tracks to create fire, or the tracks like to have \"signal problems\" or even the most popular the duct tape holding together a green line train fell of and the train fell apart on the tracks in a tunnel somewhere causing a delay due to a \"disabled train\". luckily there is two twitter accounts which tweet about this, the boston police twitter and some mbta twitter. this gives me instantaneous info so I can call work and notify them that I will be late and or leave early for work or where ever I am going... Also very usefull for notifying everyone whether I am playing Rockband 2 or Rockband Beatles, or not playing Rockband at all...

Figure out which of your friends, relatives, acquaintances, coworkers, former classmates, bus drivers, and mail carriers you care to get updates from, and subscribe to their feeds. If you would be interested in knowing that your sister has a cold or that your friend is taking their dog to the vet to get a foxtail removed, subscribe to that person's feed. If you don't care, don't subscribe.

Lack of sortability is annoying.</p><p>That said, I think one's satisfaction depends on how one uses any given site.  For me, Twitter is primarily for marketing purposes and secondarily for fun, entertainment and communications.  I've never posted what I had for lunch (why would I?) but I post links to my professional blog, to industry-related articles, to posts by my colleagues and to other things I find interesting, quirky or entertaining.</p><p>Since using Twitter, I've seen my ebook sales and web site traffic increase exponentially, had a significant increase in the number of media interviews (local and national) I've been asked to give, have been hired by more local clients and have been able to help people find referrals in their areas, especially as I now know my colleagues much better than when I only occasionally interacted on our industry chat list or at annual national conferences.  It's all, to use the annoying parlance, \"organic\"--there's no need to hard sell or even feel like you're marketing.  It's just part of your narrative.</p><p>(I've also learned about great books, music, movies, TV shows, blogs, web sites, services, products and opportunities, as they've been mentioned by people whose opinions I've come  to respect.  And @ComcastCares fixed a problem two minutes after I reported it, when the local office had ignored me for weeks.)</p><p>Twitter's advantage is that I can follow a small number of people (some strangers, some whom I know) and anyone who wants to follow me (a number ridiculously five times the number I follow) and hear what I have to say can do so.  There's no forced mutuality as with Facebook, and why should there be?  If one person is an expert and people want to hear what that expert has to say (@DavidPogue, for example), that's great.  There's no reason to think he (necessarily) wants to hear about his followers' kids or car wash experiences or, in the ubiquitous example, what they had for breakfast.</p><p>Some people like Twitter because of thee open cocktail party atmosphere--the ability to IM with anyone and everyone-- and certainly some people post rubbish.  But there's no reason to ever follow those people--you can very easily follow only those who post useful, interesting material.  From a consumer perspective, I like that Twitter requires no personal information from me other than an email address; FB seems to want everything but your blood type, and you are left in the awkward position of having to either turn down the friending of people you didn't even like in high school (and who probably didn't like you!) or jump through hoops to filter out babblings you don't care to read.  On Twitter, reciprocity is neither expected nor required.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(15414886, 'ProfOrganizer')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->								<div class=\"num-replies\">2 replies</div>	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-15418398\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=335588\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-335588-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=335588\">halo969</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/09/10-extinct-twitter-types-thanks-to-new-terms-of-service.html#comment-15418398\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-09-16T18:40:53-05:00\">September 16, 2009  6:40 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(15418398);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=15418398');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c15414886\" rel=\"nofollow\">ProfOrganizer</a>: Excellent points!
