Even though both the sites have different models their users always fall in a discussion which is the best website between two of them.

Here are few point which shows why Facebook is better than Twitter.

Everything Inside Facebook

We can browse everything inside the Facebook, such as Photos, Videos, Status Updates etc. which is less time consuming than Twitter, where are you have to use different services to do that in Twitter

Difference between company page and personal profile

You can create and account to stay in touch with friends and family and You can also create dedicated pages for business or a brand where as twitter provide any different feature to company or brand profiles.

Chat with friends

Facebook has a feature of instant messaging where you can chat with your friends instantly and that too within the Facebook. Where as you just can tweet to your friends in twitter.

Supports many games/apps

About 20 million people play games on Facebook that’s a really big numbers, It also supports thousands of apps to kill time, you can do all this inside the Facebook.

Easy Visual interface in Facebook

The other good thing about Facebook is, it is easy to scan content in Facebook because of it’s easy visual interface whereas Twitter has only Text.

More information about yourself on Facebook

Twitter limits you to have your say within 140 character, it is a good thing sometimes but you need more than that, you can write more about yourself on Facebook then on twitter.

Photos Organizer Keeps your photos organized

You can share photos and other files on twitter but Facebook has more convenient way to to it and hosts your files on their own servers. Around 100 billion photos have been uploaded on Facebook by 2010.

Everyone is on Facebook

600 million people are on Facebook whereas Twitter has around 200 million (rough data)

Threaded Type Discussion

Its easy to read a particular discussion as it is in the form of a thread. When you put a status update people can comment on it and you get notified about it, It is easy to follow up the discussion unlike in Twitter.

 

There are many more differences, but as I said these two websites are different from each other. Mostly Facebook is used for staying in touch with people you know. and Twitter is for people who might want to know and follow like minded people.
