Hi to all respected members,

Get more people to follow you and then make discount offers only on tweeter.

It depends on what type of website you have. But it would be effective if you use both sites. They have different platforms and when used properly, they can be very effective for promotions.

get many follower to you're twitter account..
with many followers, it's very easy to do promotion and help to increase traffic and PR for you're website ...

Thanks

What I don't understand is this, I have twitter account, and all I got is followers only, nothing else, no results,just like you,I better signed up for facebook account and see what this site can do to my product.

Which Social Network is the Best?

While zealots will immediately point to either Twitter
or Facebook as being superior, the truth is that each has its advantages and disadvantages and will tend to appeal more to different types of people and for different reasons. Each can have great or little value to anyone; it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish in a given situation. Consider some of the pros and cons of each network:

Twitter Pros

* Easy to navigate and update, link to and promote anything
* Reach far beyond your inner circle of friends
* One feed pools all users; anyone can follow anyone else unless blocked
* Pure communication tool, rapid responsiveness
* You don’t have to be logged in to get updates; you can just use an RSS reader
* Very interactive, extensible messaging platform with open APIs
* Many other applications being developed (Twitterific, Summize, Twhirl, etc.)
* Potential SMS text messaging revenue from wireless networks (although Twitter states they are not currently getting any cut)
* Potential future advertising and/or enterprise subscription-based revenue streams
* With its “thin” overhead, Twitter is probably more scalable than Facebook, giving it a cost advantage

Twitter Cons

* Limited functionality; find people, send brief messages, direct replies
* Limited to 140 characters per update
* Not all people find it immediately useful
* Over-emphasis on follower counts
* Easily abused for spam and increasing the noise level
* Relatively smaller installed user base
* As yet no readily apparent monetization strategy

Facebook Pros

* Application mashup; find people, make connections, email, instant messaging, image/video sharing, etc.
* Most people can quickly grasp the value of connecting with friends, family and established contacts; some people report they use Facebook instead of email and IM
* More emphasis on deep connections with others vs. who has the most connections
* “True Friends” feature increases your transparency to selected connections; almost like having private and public profiles
* Huge, rapidly growing installed user base
* Inherit stickiness, third party applications, “gift giving” and personal data collection make Facebook a powerful advertising platform

Facebook Cons

* More difficult to navigate and update
* Requires investment of time to realize sustained benefit
* Opt in model requires a user to allow others to connect
* Less immediate responses; unless you stay logged on continually
* Overhead of mashup and “thick” applications could limit scalability, bloat cost structure.

I prefer both. Both are best at their manner.
Twitter is micro blogging sites and facebook is social networking site.
You can find lots of feature on Facebook...

Hi all,

I think Twitter and facebook both are best cause almost everyone uses twitter who are already have facebook accounts. But in facebook you can do better promotion as it supports pictures, videos, business pages etc.

i used both social site, twitter and facebook ive got lots of traffic in twitter, but i enjoy using facebook ^^

[mickyjashua]

I agree on this .. Facebook is better for those who is using it in personal. Coming to promotions Twitter will be gr8 to use and generates quite a good traffic.
