Communication and Audience:

Facebook
It is the most famous social network, both for the number of subscribers and the size of public. This is because is the best social network to find old friends, family members, former classmates, and to make new friends.

When you share something in Facebook, usually, you use a friendly and close language. That’s because when you use it you are talking to people who already know you and your personality.

Additionally there is tools, like the integrated chat, that allow a 360° communication between users.

Twitter
Twitter is a new entry and it is differt from all others social network. That’s because it has not been created to find new friend. Contrariwise it’s cretaed to follow a specific topic (to know more about it read our 1st chapter).

Using Twitter is like to be in a mega party where you don’t know anyone. You have to communicate more quickly and effectively. You have to say what you want in just 140 characters.
