Facebook vs. Twitter
Nowadays, everyone can use the internet for communication even though they are not in the same place. Teenagers like to talk and share ideas with each other all the time using the internet. The two most popular websites are Twitter and Facebook where people can chat and share ideas with each other all the time. These two services include similarities and differences, but both Facebook and Twitter make people addicted.
Everything has its history, including Facebook and Twitter. First, I will start with the history of Facebook. The man who owns the idea and created Facebook by himself is Mark Zuckerberg. He started the service while he was at Harvard University as a second year student. At that time he broke up with his girlfriend and he tried everything to forget his bad memory. He first launched a site while studying at Harvard called “Facemash” in 2003. Facemash was a site for voting on student photos. After that, he improved his site to be better and changed the name Facemash to “TheFacebook” in 2004. Mark and his friends expanded their site to well-known universities in the USA, and then all around the world. In 2005, the word “The” was removed, and Mark together with his friends registered the domain name of Facebook.com with $200,000 and this is the way Facebook has existed until present.
Next, I will talk about the history of Twitter. The word “Twitter” came from the word “Tweet” which means the weak chirping sound of a small bird. Twitter is an online social network and microblogging service which enables users to send and read text-based posts. Twitter was created by Obvious Corp. in March 2006 in San Francisco, USA. The site was improved by Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan Williams both of whom also created the most popular Blog Service in the world at the present time which is Blogger.com
The similarities between Facebook and Twitter are that they are both social network
