We just started Twittering (Tweeting?) recently, and it's definitely showing up in our stats as an important traffic driver. Facebook, too, but not quite as much and my guess is that over time as we Tweet more, that gap will widen even more. Lisa Hey Todd,

Doesn't the saying go: "Facebook is for friends and people you don't really talk to anymore and Twitter is for people you don't know but you want to get to know." In my experience Facebook pages are OK for established brands and companies whereas Twitter is good for businesses or indivduals looking to connect to others. After all virtual/social networking is just like the real thing but without the face to face interaction. I have to agree with you Todd.

This is because our main target audience, UK students 18-25 are big Facebook users and by posting links/photos/videos from fan page it generates good traffic. They don't seem to have taken to Twitter as much yet, we have a small following on there but the base of student population isn't there yet. - For the local community blog that I run then it's the other way round. I only have a Twitter presence and it's been brilliant at growing traffic to the site, it's constantly battling with Google as the top referrer (although as more legacy content is created, Google is sneaking ahead). I don't have a Facebook presence for the blog, as I don't think it's the right place for it. I’ve found that they serve different functions for different sites that I work with:

Twitter is a dynamic, content sharing medium. It has a broader reach that allows me to communicate with those I may not want to be so 'intimate...as a facebook friend'. Twitter allows me to pop in and out...and it takes less time for me to 'engage' - while facebook can be a hassle as I go about my daily tasks. Nothing beats the dm method of urgent and brief communication either. @nansen I completely agree with your conclusions. Twitter is a dynamic, content sharing medium.
