Facebook and Twitter
Facebook
and Twitter are two kinds of social networks which are very popular. We might think that they are totally
different. In fact, if we compare them,
we can find some similarities between Facebook and Twitter. The first affinity that we can find between
facebook and twitter is the menu.
Facebook has three main menus which are home, profile and setting. Just like Facebook, Twitter also has three
main menus which are home, profile, and setting. The second likeness that facebook and Twitter
shared is profile picture. I am sure
Facebook user is familiar with a picture that they need to choose to be their
profile picture. Similar thing happens
to Twitter user. They can choose a
picture to be their profile picture. The
third equivalent feature between them is the header in the profile. Header is the background behind the profile
picture, the purpose is to make our profile more interesting. We can use any picture to be the header of
our profile on Facebook. We can do the
same on our header of our profile on Twitter.
The other resemblance on Facebook and Twitter is both of them are free
social networks. Facebook is free to use. We just need to make an account then we can
use it freely. So does Twitter as social
network, it is free. Make an account on
Twitter so you can use it freely just like Facebook. When we talk about the similarity, we have
found many similarities. On the other
hand, it is easy to contrast Facebook with Twitter. Facebook and Twitter have some
differences. Facebook as a social
network has some distinctive features that makes it different from
Twitter. Icon is a must thing for social
network. We all know facebook’s icon is
a blue square with “F” letter in the center of it. Then, Facebook has a basic colour that is
dark blue. The colour is not too dark
but it is darker than Twitter’s basic colour.
Another thing about Facebook is we cannot choose a picture for
background. The Facebook’s background is
just plain and white. When we use
Facebook, we called our update as “status”.
Everytime we type things and share them, those are called “status” in
Facebook. With the same aspects in
Facebook, we can clearly differentiate Twitter from Facebook. Twitter has an icon of a blue bird. It has an analogy that bird likes
twitter. Light blue is the official basic
colour of Twitter. It is exactly the
same as the colour of the icon. One
special feature of Twitter is the background.
Unlike facebook, on Twitter we can change the background with a picture
that we choose. Another dissimilarity
between Facebook and Twitter is the update.
In Twitter, everytime we share something, it will be called as
“tweet”. In a nut shell, we can say that
Facebook and Twitter have both similarities and differences that make them look
alike and different at the same time for some features. It is
good to make an account for each of them so that we can make a bigger network
society.
