Guess what!

According to . . . [TG Daily | Yahoo News | Business Week] . . . Facebook is revamping their website to allow for real-time updates, and is being compared to some high-powered Twitter. The new site will go live in about a week, and lets you also post photos and videos and stuff like that in these updates. One thing this feature has over Twitter is that Twitter doesn’t show you the multimedia, just a tinyurl link to it.

But the thing I love about Twitter is that it’s so easy to use, and you can even do it on the go! A quick text message and you’re done! If I wanted to update Facebook while I’m out, I have to flip open the phone, log into Facebook, and then scroll down to the status update section, type it in, click UPDATE, and wait for the data to transfer.

It kind of reminds me of the clunky way MySpace added the Friend Updates box—smack dab in the middle of your dashboard, which I hated and always ignored—and then applications—and I have zero clue where these damn things go in the first place. I haven’t regularly logged on to MySpace for about a year and have just recently started using Facebook regularly. It was around then that MySpace appeared to be ripping off Facebook, and Facebook redesigned itself to be much more user-friendly. That’s when I ditched one and went to the other.

And now looking this Facebook»Twitter news, I’m thinking the same thing might happen, as Facebook tries to capitalize on the best Twitter has to offer. I guess the writers at TechCrunch put it well when they stated something like, if you can’t buy it, beat it. The only difference is, I use Twitter way more than Facebook anyway, and I probably always will.
