Facebook and Social Startups Meme.

At times a picture says a thousand words and the one above says it all. Of course this isn’t any news but I just felt like being an art critic and had great admiration for this piece of art. The bird and the dinosaur depicts a tale of its own, just give it a look, all those birds circling the dino and it just roars its way destroying each bird.

So what’s the connection? Well obviously Twitter is about a countless noise all around you where as Facebook is one center location where you get to hook with almost everything you do online. Be it connecting with friends, playing games or listening to music and while the two have a league of their own but to be honest Facebook appears to try a lot to add more of Twitter functionality and continues to step closer to the micromessaging functionality. I continue to use both services quite addictively and I don’t see either crossing over into each other’s domains.

But think of it, where does Twitter stand in the next couple of years and compare it to Facebook? Obviously the largest social network will outgrow Twitter like it has been but Twitter will continue to hold its position and perhaps the moment it gets some business model, the site will definitely be a very powerful tool for brands to communicate with the masses. Primarily because it is so open to search and secondly it’s much faster and really very viral. So while the Dino will slice, burn and crush the birds around, those birds will be in enough numbers to fly around.

I will be interested in asking our readers which service they use more often and why?
