>> Facebook is one of the top most social Networking services launched in February 2004. Founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates for Harvard University students and and was later opened for the general public in 2006. Today it has over one billion active users with an estimated 750, 000,000 unique monthly visitors.
>>To make use of the Facebook services, you are required to register with the site after which you can create your profile page. Once created, you can add other users as friends and can exchange messages with each other. You can also join some common groups of the people of your interest and can categorize your friend list as relatives, close friends, people, from work , etc.


<> Twitter

>> Twitter is the second most used social networking site which allows its users to send or read messages of upto 140 characters known as Tweets. This service was founded in March, 2006 by jack Dorsey and was launched in July , 2006. The service gained quick popularity and today it has over 500 million active users generating over 340 million tweets on a daily basis. While creating their tweet's users can also create link to other contents. It is mainly used by the celebraties, journalists, politicians and other public figures to communicate their messages to the followers. Companies and organization have also used it effectively to engage with their potential customers offering promotions and other special services.
>> Working of 'Twitter' is some what different from Facebook as in this the profiles are generally public i.e. anyone in the world can see what you write , useless you make private profile. On Twitter following someone does not mean accepting him as a friend.
