I almost completely ditched Twitter because I got sick of attempting to condense my thoughts into blurbs a toddler with ADD could understand.
On twitter, I have thousands of followers and I'm lucky to get even one reply or mention.
On Facebook, however, I have about 300 friends, and I can post an actual paragraph along with a photo or a video. I often get 30 likes and 20 comments on the posts.
Facebook does a much better job of facilitating real conversations, and yet it still allows people to post 140 character blurbs (if they want to).
I get it though. Twitter is what it is, and there are tons of people who love it. I'm not one of those people.
