Twitter v Facebook - a newbies first impressions

I've stepped out of my comfort zone, Facebook, bit the bullet and dipped my toe into Twitter. It's taken me a good week to scratch the surface on how it works and why I'd want to use it in the first place. I'm kinda getting my head round it all, like who I follow (not easy), rather than using it as a glorified RSS feed for all my tech tweets, which seemed stupid as I've already got Google Reader to do that job.

So far I'm finding it a mad, slightly daunting place, where no prisoners are taken, bullets fly thick and fast and not quite as friendly as I was expecting; maybe I'm just used to the social interaction in Facebook. There are some very amusing people tweeting, Will Head and Katie Lee spring to mind and it's a very fascinating world to peer into, where I can see one getting an addiction, but it's not the comfortable friendly place Facebook is.

Having said that I find myself being drawn more and more into Twitter, checking tweets and hell bent on some insane mission to fine new people to follow that will stimulate my ever increasing twitter addiction.

At the moment the verdict is still out.
