Twitter vs. Facebook

I have been an avid user of both Twitter and Facebook.  I believe both are great social networking tools and they both provide different ways of communicating to a large audience.  For Twitter, it is more "accepted" to post frequently than Facebook.  People who post in their profile on Facebook is seen by everyone on their newsfeed and people notice this.  However, Twitter is made for tweeting and constantly posting and it is more accepted to tweet frequently.  The user experience of both sites are very different.  With Facebook, there is a much more personal way of expression and communication.  Whereas with Twitter, I feel it is a more open and public form of communication.  For Facebook, the audience and primary consumers are people, but it is a great marketing tool to create a "page" for a company, whereas with Twitter, channels are extremely popular and products, news companies, and brands have accounts and it's just a massive flow of information and primarily text.  Facebook enables a lot of expression through pictures, albums, and statuses, whereas with Twitter you can do text, 1 picture, and location in a tweet.  Twitter is more limited in options and expression than Facebook.  I follow celebrities, news channels, venues, friends, teams, and artists.  I really check my Twitter a lot, as most venues and artists post their first presale ticket dates and links to tickets via twitter.  I really like Twitter as it allows for extremely quick communication to a fan/customer base and between friends.  My concerns with Twitter is that when I originally made a Twitter account, my account was public/unlocked and a lot of random-unknown people/bots would follow me and I had no way of preventing them from seeing my tweets, therefore I made my account locked so that I get to see who wants to follow me first and I get to accept them in order for them to read my tweets.        

I see social media in the news and athletes can respond to phenomena via Twitter or can also get in trouble with using their Twitter accounts and their choice of words.  I know athletes and people like Mark Cuban who have been fined for what they have said through social media and it is important for them to realize that what they say and tweet is seen and heard by everyone.
