Twitter vs. Facebook: What's Better for Business?

Each morning, I immediately open not only my email but also Twitter, Facebook and various other networking sites. I have to say that when I hear the friendly "bing" from Twhirl announcing new tweets, I get excited! Am I a rat at a feeding bar?

Yet, I see a distinct difference between my two favorite communities, Facebook and Twitter.

Twitter feels like coffee after the service at church where many people are gathered but the conversation is often passing and brief. Don't get me wrong, I have taken many of those brief conversations on Twitter offline and have formed incredible relationships.

Facebook, on the other hand, feels more like lunch with a friend where I can
leisurely be introduced to various friends and savor the time we have
to spend together. There is no time, or character limit, and many more
options to delight.

What are your thoughts on these two powerful social networking tools?

Please leave your links so all of us can follow, friend and get to know you at church and over lunch!
