		<description>I always had a FB account that I have always used to the fullest, here in SA FB is much more popular than Twitter.  As a result I didn&#039;t join Twitter knowing that none of the people I knew personally would be using it.  But almost a week back I decided I should open up a account for me to see what the fuss is about.

Like I heard Twitter was more popular than FB and when browsing the web a lot more people has a &#039;follow me on Twitter&#039; banner than the &#039;find me/us on Facebook&#039; on their site or blog.  What also interested me was the fact that Twitter had a lot of applications that you could use outside of Twitter- like widgets that you could add to your blog/website.

Like I said I got my Twitter account and got like 20 followers in a minute- wow, and made my first tweet- and after using it for a week- what is the big fuss about?!  The options you have on twitter is minimal, you can make a tweet but that is about it- then there is the apps from Twitter but those a only for promoting your twitter account...

What account?!  Twitter does really have a lack of options [for me] and I will keep on using it to see if it gets better- [When I first started using Facebook I thought it was much to open for the web- giving away your identity through your cell number, full name, Photos and much much more.  I thought FB was stupid- used to the power you have over your lets say blogging account at Blogger.

 But after using FB for a month I actually got addicted and now I am a FB&#039;er at heart- because I gave it time, I will still see if Twitter, a service that allows you to do almost nothing like upload photos and tag them, take quizzes and much much more- I like the power to make the service a bit more personal and for it to be an open platform for other services and creations, I will still see by a miracle, If Twitter will appeal to me in the future]

And for MySpace- A service for old people... As for blogging- the best of them all- except for, like you said, you cant give random brockets of info like you would on Twitter or FB on your blog, YET.

All is still my opinion...</description>
