Twitter

Twitter is a 140 character micro-blogging broadcast platform accessible via the web (Twitter.com) and mobile platforms such as iOS, Android and WinMo.

History
Founded in 2006 Twitter was originally created to stay connected with a group of friends via SMS. It was never meant to be used on the internet hence the 140 character limit. Twitter was mostly funded through venture capitalists who to the tune of $ 50 million. For the first 3 years made a total of ‘zero’ dollars in revenues but is expected to make 1.54 billion dollars by the end of 2013 with over a billion users.

Facebook

Facebook is a website where you can create a personal or company page to share stories, pictures and videos with your friends, family or customers.

Facebook has different ways to interact with its users via Profiles, Groups and Pages.

History
Incorporated in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with roommates and friends in a Harvard University dorm room, they moved to Palo Alto, California the same year. Within a week of launch fellow students the Winklevoss twins accused Zuckerberg of copying their idea called the Harvard Connection. They subsequently settled for a suggested $120m. Since 2004 the site has grown rapidly with month on month growth peaking in 2008 at 178%. Facebook is a privately owned company with key shareholders; Zuckerberg, Sean Parker ex Napster, several investment firms, employees, various celebs and the original dorm room members (Albeit many not on speaking terms). Recently valued at $10bn (Dotcom Bust V2 here we come?), Facebook now gets more traffic than Google.
