Twitter vs Facebook vs Google+

Here is the reorganized article based on the original Twitter-style content:

I love Twitter! It's super direct and one thing that people often discredit because when Twitter was first coming out, people complained about 140 characters being too short. But that's one of the beauties of Twitter - you've got to keep it short and to the point.

You shouldn't be over 140 characters on any social network; nobody reads long posts or updates. Facebook should be a picture with a caption; people don't read more than the first couple of sentences if you write your life story there. This is a marketing perspective, but even for an average user, posting pictures grabs attention.

I use Google Plus more though and I have mad respect for it - it's approaching Twitter-like functionality in my opinion. If you want Google to like you, use its products right? Use their social network too! The audience is just very different, so you can't treat everything the same way.

My number one social network aside from YouTube (of course) is still Twitter. I love spilling my life there all the time - no matter what it is. If you guys or are not into anything on Facebook, maybe Twitter's something you should give a shot? It's not the same thing, but yeah they're all different with their own things.

The gist of this entire video (ignore it) is to join my... uh, never mind! If you want to follow us on social media, links will be in the description below. We didn't plan this or anything - it's not a plug! But we did have Amy from SavvySexySocial with us; she's awesome and we've been hanging out at Vidcon.

We actually just did a video on your channel too (YouTube.com/Austinevans) so you guys can check that out. Thank you Amy and go check out her video out!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys yeah okay whatever hey guys this is austin and i'm amy and she's stealing my intro because that's what she's been doing all day anyway today we're here at vidcon and we decided since we're here we might as well film some videos and one of your specialties is social media so we were going to talk a little bit about twitter versus facebook versus google plus i feel like twitter you're more likely to see a variety of information because it's not an algorithm at work for you there's a discover tab where it's kind of tailoring information where you will definitely see some different things and that's being coordinated for you but twitter is 100 chronological so you can subscribe to things there and you're going to get a very quick synopsis of what you're going to get if you click somewhere or just to find out more information so what do you think about google plus because google plus is a lot more like facebook than it is twitter so do you think google plus is worth you know investing your time okay you guys you know what facebook it's not a thing anymore we're gonna do google plus what do you think i would say that google plus is like facebook first when you look at it because it's the the news feed it all seems very similar but in all actuality it actually is a lot more like twitter because it really tries to get all the content in front of you if you think about it if somebody comments on your stuff as soon as something's commented it moves right back up so they're constantly trying to put this stuff in your face because it's the most paid attention to at that point i feel like google plus right now is really heavily oriented towards people who are like big into android people are big into you know google youtube whatever because it's it works so well because they've got everything like if you use android you're gonna see like plus one buttons everywhere you're gonna be it's just it's just really focused on you know trying to get you over there and that's like when i use android i mean i'm sorry when i use google plus like you were saying you gotta use them differently i actually on google plus i post a lot of stuff about google stuff and android stuff because i know that that's what people care about and you're right everyone has a google plus pretty much but the difference is not everyone uses right plus right so it's like do you want to go you got all these friends on facebook do you really want to go and move them over to google plus it's hard to get people to move there's so many problems with there's so many problems with facebook there's people every single time they change anything like turn to boycott facebook we're done with this but the ultimate change would be leaving and no one wants to do that because no one no okay i want to say no one there are lots of people on google plus and you know what there are a lot we're on google yeah no you can't say there's no one on google plus yeah it's just a matter of what is your priority if your priority is connecting with people you already know you have to go to where they already are exactly that's it i mean i feel like everyone's on facebook a good amount of people are on twitter and a decent amount of people on google plus but there are very specific types it's a very specific name yeah and it's i don't know personally for me though twitter all the way i like twitter i use facebook i use google plus um but just for me i love that twitter is it's super direct and plus one thing that i think that a lot of people kind of discredit because i remember remember when twitter was first coming out people complained like 140 characters that's not enough it should be like 200 but that's one of the beauties of twitter because you've got to keep it short you can't do these long rambling things you keep it short keep it to the point it's i love that the the fact of the matter is you shouldn't be over 140 characters on any social network nobody reads so like i said with the videos with anything post a picture everything on facebook should be a picture there's a caption for a reason you can put any text you want there nobody's reading it if they see a picture that grabs their eye and this is this is sort of a martin marketing perspective that i'm speaking from but even for an average user if you really want somebody to respond to what you're saying it should be a picture it's really going to grab attention on the feed and people don't read more than the first couple of sentences if you write your life story on facebook you're probably not being followed i'm using google plus more though i've got to say i'm actually google plus for me is approaching twitter i have mad respect for google plus i so much so i want to use it more often first i mean if you want google to like you use its products right if you wanted to push cred you know people to your youtube channel or whatever that is if you want a google product to do well then use their google social network um you basically have to but also the thing is because they are super users you really have to give them the time of day you can't just be over there promoting yourself and it's different like like we're saying earlier the audience is just very different so you can't just like say oh this facebook twitter like especially like a lot of people like have like automatic sharing and stuff like i'll just i have a google plus and just everything from facebook but it's just it's just different you can't treat everything the same way but overall what is your so what is your number one still twitter my number one social network aside from youtube of course because it is it counts it totally counts youtube is an incredibly social network i mean the most loyal of anyone uh but twitter is where i go to spill my life all the time no matter what it is so if you guys or just maybe on facebook or maybe you're not even really into anything i think twitter's definitely something you should give a shot it's not the same thing and i think a lot of people are totally fine having a facebook and a twitter or a facebook and a google plus yeah they're all different they all have their different things but basically the gist of this entire video is join myspace today it's the next big thing if you're not on myspace you're totally going to be like left into the 2000s where are you basically this entire video just ignore it just go join my it's it's cool it's hip it's uh it's the the thing the thing
