eMarketer reports that, “While Q3 2009 data showed e-mail on top for content-sharing, February 2010 information from social optimization platform Gigya points to Facebook as the Web’s top social sharing hub.”
Facebook continues to grow because users believe that the content is richer due to photos, video, and articles, all being easily shared.
It is also more personal. Protected. And intuitive.
As for Twitter? The noise continues. I use it, but am frustrated, at times, with the amount of nonsense on it.
“What a beautiful sunrise!”
“Forgot how much I liked my banana nut muffin!”
“Getting ready for a jog. Ugh!”
I realize that, obviously, many people are interested in this slice of lifestyle. Just not me.
I use and like Twitter when interesting articles are posted. Or my attention is brought to a new hot topic.
However, it looks like many agree, that Facebook is less noise and more of the content that interests the “fans”.
