What do you update more - Facebook status or Twitter?

Great post from Jeremy Liew analyzing volume of Facebook status updates versus Twitter tweets.

There are 30 million Facebook users that update their status on a daily basis.  Liew speculates this to be 45-60 million total status updates each day since each user presumably updates more than once.

Twitter has 18-24 million tweets per day, which is 2-3x less than Facebook.  Although Twitter will likely catch up, Liew notes that the Facebook feed has much more than just status updates.  So the Facebook stream will always appear more active.

So what do you update more often to communicate with your church?  (Of course the tech-savvy user updates both simultaneously through a 3rd party app)

I would argue the Facebook stream is much more attractive to a church since it supports multimedia posts.  And some would use that same argument to say Twitter is more powerful - the simplicity of text is what makes Unix "better" than Windows

Hey Joe, the link to Jeremy's post is broken.

Interesting question, though. My observation is that people tweet a lot more frequently than they update their FB status, even when you factor in posting pics & other stuff.

Personally, I typically post 3-5x a day to FB and tweet 10-20x a day. I do use TweetDeck to post to both simultaneously, but about 3/4 of the time I deselect FB.

Thanks Paul - fixed the link

Twitter more than anything even by visits perday.
