Twitter vs Facebook vs Google+

2013-08-08
hey guys yeah okay winner hey guys this is Austin and I'm Amy and she's stealing my intro cuz 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+ 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 in it that's being coordinated for you but Twitter is 100 percent 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 do Google Plus because Google+ is a lot more like Facebook than it is Twitter so do you think Google+ is worth you know investing your time okay you guys you know what Facebook I think anymore we can go to Google+ what wait what do you think I would say that Google+ is like Facebook first when you look at it because it's the the the newsfeed 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 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 because 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+ 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 you use Android you can see like +1 but 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'm sorry when I use Google+ like you're saying you got to use them differently I actually on Google+ 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+ 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+ your hard to get people to move there's so many problems there's so many problems with Facebook there's people every single time they change in their turn the boy the ultimate change would be leaving and no one wants do that because no one know Gala's they know it there are lots of people on Google+ and you know what there are a lot to go places on Google+ I mean ya know you can't say there's no one on Google+ 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 on Twitter and a decent amount of people on Google+ but there are very specific types of very specific yeah it's I don't personally for me though Twitter all the way I love Twitter I use Facebook Google+ 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 will complain like 140 characters that's not enough but you need 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 absolutely the point it's I love that the the fact of the matter is you shouldn't be over a hundred forty 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 Marting 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 gonna grab attention on the feed and people don't read more than the first couple of sentences if you write your life story on yes you're probably not being followed I'm using Google+ more though I've got Sam actually a Google+ for me is approaching Twitter I have mad respect for Google+ 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 credit 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 this laughter but 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 promoting your it's different 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+ and it does 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 bounced it totally counts YouTube is an incredibly social network I mean the most loyal of anyone but Twitter is where I go to spill my life all the time no matter what it is so if you guys are just maybe on Facebook or maybe you're not even Milly into anything I think Twitter is 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 Facebook and Google Plus or Twitter and yeah yeah they're all different they all have their different things but basically the gist of this entire video is join MySpace today next big thing if you're not on myspace you're totally gonna be like left in 2000 where yeah basically this interpret just ignore it just go join MySpace it's it's cool it's hip it's a it it's the other thing the thing exactly anyway if you
