Facebook just killed Twitter
I think Facebook just killed Twitter with their new Subscribe button. Previously it wasn’t possible to follow updates from people you weren’t friends with. Now, it’s possible to get their public updates in your news feed and Facebook definitely provides a better engagement with the likes and comments. Kevin Rose did a click-through experiment with Facebook, Twitter and Google plus and noted that:
w/subscribers facebook has instantly turned into my largest source of link traffic. It makes sense, people check facebook multiple times a day, this gives my post a greater likelihood of being seen.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
