Media Mentions, Google+ | featured news

Twitter more popular than Facebook in 2011

Twitter

Although Facebook dominates Twitter in many areas, it lost to its smaller competitor in at least one metric for 2011. Twitter was discussed in about 50 percent of media coverage regarding social networks this year, while Facebook was only talked about 45 percent of the time, according to HighBeam Research. The report did not even bother mentioning Google+.

Senh: Unless those media mentions can convert more people to using twitter, it's kind of a useless metric. It just means that Twitter's marketing department is doing a good job. Also, because writers tend to solicit users to follow them on Twitter, it makes it a more natural medium for them to use.
