I would rather pay for Facebook, but that could change if Twitter was more strict on spam. The power of Twitter is undeniable but sometimes you just want to punch spammers in the face for dampening the experience.

[...] Facebook’s redesign and policy changes have sparked off user outrage in the past, Twitter (except for the whale) is smoother, perhaps it hasn’t deviated from the original approach much – even the new set of changes doesn’t affect the user much, only adds value to his usage. Is it a difference of intent – Facebook being pure social networking, and Twitter being on a meta plane – higher? Or are the differences merely a function of time in the market and user base? Interestingly, in a recent research with 200 social media leaders on which service they were willing to pay for, Facebook came first with 31.2%, Twitter was third with 21.8%, behind LinkedIn.

Well there is a lot of negative comments here and however you choose to do biz dev that most certainly does not help you get new business.

I have been working in Interactive many years and have fortune 500 companies in my portfolio. I will say that I have used Facebook and Twitter to find both new business and to maintain relationships with current clients. I have however never found Linkedin to be useful for more than checking the background of applicants that are applying for work.

I have been to more networking functions than I care to remember from Vancouver to New York and have connected with more Sr. Marketing executives on twitter than any of those functions.

I am sure that you will read my blog and complain by the posts that I am just another social media advocate blind to little else, but to be quite honest I was not really into social media until quite recently and until that point, word of mouth, cold calls and real world networking was how I did new biz. I still do all of that but now have FB and Twitter in the mix to round out the effort. Considering the downward financial my business has never been busier.

Twitter might me discounted by many that don’t use it but remember what the telegraph companies said about the invention of the telephone and what the record companies said about mp3’s. Both proclaimed them to be useless fads with no staying power.

The jury is still out on both but why not explore it and see what you find.

I agree with the Twitter assessment for businesses. It’s a much better tool when it comes to viraly spreading information. Facebook has too many restrictions and I suspect there will be a backlash coming soon. Prominent people have been kicked off the network because of having too many friends, which is ridiculous.

I’m surprised Bebo and FriendFeed are still around.
