I may be unaware of an advanced search facility on FB, but twitter really shines https://twitter.com/search-advanced https://twitter.com/search-advanced
I find Twitter to be better at connecting to people you admire and are involved in your industry. I can see a similar situation for teenagers.
I help organise a regular monthly event. I PR through twitter but host an event through a Facebook group. Articles/photos/stories are discussed in detail through the FB group, but they are sourced through twitter.
Twitter gives you the ability to 'focus' an account (I have two, my personal and the event one) towards the type of people/organisations that are of interested for the specified account.
In fact it's a very very good way of filtering out noise. You only bring articles to the FB group that would get the people talking.
FB is way too vague and generally is just part of me wasting 5 minutes to be entertained.
Twitter I use to try and get a better understanding of the world I live in and to learn from people I admire.
- brazzy 13y agoFunny and strange. I have never been able to find any use or value whatsoever in Twitter. My account has been sitting unused for years, whereas I use Facebook near every day.
- riffraff 13y agofacebook has the fancy semantic search that works with stuff like "find friends of friends who like chopin". It's somewhat orthogonal to a "good" text search for status messages.
