Why people love facebook?

Facebook appeals to social animals and can be very addicting to people who have an insatiable appetite to stay connected with friends and make new acquaintance. In fact some people report they rarely use emails anymore in their online socialcommunication, relying almost entirely on facebook for email, chat, video or photos sharing.

Facebook addicts prefer the social portal model versus having to log into hotmail, gmail, yahoo messenger, Flickr, youtube or myspace ...Instead of this facebook gives them a single alternative to all these applications. these largely explains the explosive growth of Facebook.

Why people love twitter?

The usefulness of Twitter is not readily as obvious to some people as Facebook, although it may be more addictive once you get the hang ot tweeting, you get more immediate responses and it seems to live between the world of email, instant messaging and blogging

Twitter encourages constant "linking out" to anywhere and another way to find people all over the net.

Twitter has quickly brand awareness and a loyal following, especially among the technically adept, bloggers, online marketers, celebrities basically anyone with something to promote seem to find twitter extremely valuable.

And the winner is...

But Twinner is not so far....
