What’s it for me, then? Why would I want
another social tool?
How does it different then Facebook?
Am I so self-important, self-absorbed and so smug that I need to tell people what I'm doing 20 times a day?
I signed up and gave up, becauseI didn’t see anything interesting
Use Twitter to Keep in Touch with Friends and Family?
NoThat’s what Facebook is very good for
You’re using the wrong tool, if you useTwitter to connect to friends and family
Let’s understand the world around You
This is you
This is your world

YOUR INNER SOCIAL CIRCLEPersonal, Trustworthy, Informal, Private
Friends &
Family
AND YOUR OUTER CIRCLE
Common Interests
Celebrities, Public Figures
Business
Customers
Corporations
Marketers
Publishers(Bloggers,Journalists)
There is no clear line
In general, use Facebook for inner social circle, andTwitter for connecting anybody else outside inner circle
But…,
Connecting
uses Symmetric model
uses Asymmetric model

Connection made only when both parties agree
to be friend
Connection made when a person
follows other personIt requires no approval*
