Facebook users are also more likely to friend their favorite brand on Facebook than a Twitter user is to follow their favorite brand. Many Facebook users that do friend brands do it either for exclusive deals and offers or because they are current customers as compared to Twitter users. Facebook users also tend to be more likely to purchase something that they see on Facebook as compared to Twitter users. However, Twitter’s real time news feed nature holds limitless possibilities for businesses to instantly deliver the latest information to their followers. Twitter is also fast growing, especially in the United States where Facebook usage has stagnated. Twitter also allows marketers to find followers and potential consumers within their niche, thereby creating positive networking and potential interest and allowing business owners to interact with potential clients.
