Facebook took it's core function and made it better; added threaded comments. Thus to the many who never used Twitter now they don't see why they would. Everyone they know is on Facebook and it's a more private network. My mom, her friends and others in that demographic were not on MySpace but they have been one of the fastest growing demos on Facebook (growth) if im not mistaken. This same demo as a whole want and are used to privacy. Doubtful, they'll flock to use Twitter ever.
Though Zuckerberg is pushing to be more like Twitter and he may have achieved such by fooling millions. Yes it was all over the news, but millions still don't understand nor cared to. Twitter on the other hand when understood is that you are saying random things openly to whoever and anyone can read it. That's not how people comprehend Facebook.
Zuckerberg's comments that people don't care about privacy was a bit surprising. His demographic might feel this way - but doubtful!
- philwelch 17y agoI know Facebook lets you comment on statuses, but comments aren't threaded, or they weren't last I checked.
- trezor 17y agoBut the comment on a status sticks to the status, not as a random flat message somewhere in a twitter-stream. So as opposed to on twitter you do get some context and you know what they replied to. I say that is "threaded" enough to make it useful.
