Twitter vs Facebook... Kinda [3/26/08]

hey everybody it's Gary Vayner Chuck and uh I am once again inspired here at 11 PM Eastern Time a big shout out to my wife Lizzy V who uh allowed me to do this not only that kind of pushed me to do it uh she believed in this thought and I thought it was exciting I just twittered something out and that's where I'm going with this which is the big debate that I'm willing to raise right now and I'm asking a lot of people which is that is TWiT quickly stealing an enormous amount of Facebook and at the end of the day a better and bigger app something that people would find properous is now starting to look very real to me the quickness of Twitter is such a factor the instant gratification the world is moving so quickly that the fact that we can get that response so quickly look AOL Instant Messenger still around and strong right so is Twitter taking a lot from Facebook I noticed a lot of people I kind of asked you know is that the case for you and a lot of people saying yes a lot now why is this now some people are saying you know no zombie invites and all the distracting situations a lot of people saying Facebook seems real slow to them right now before you get completely ridiculous and before I make this Preposterous statement let's be honest Facebook has feeds right they've got a lot of money right they've got obnoxious Talent big shout out to Dave Moren um follow him at Dave Moren on Twitter um they need to figure out how to make their feed me mechanism uh a Twitter clone you know like flat out they need to figure out how to make their feed situation a subset of Facebook something that's quicker better more instantaneous and we need to be adding each other on Facebook or I think Twitter and things like Twitter are really going to start taking more and more of the market share as mobile becomes far more important Simplicity is going to be important and I think the Simplicity of Twitter's mobile application is dominant uh I don't know this is really you know it just kind of hit me as I was dealing with it um once you get on that speed of what Twitter does and that allows you to interact quickly and more efficiently and that's really what we want I mean we love to play Scrabble and there's a lot of things we like to do and there's definitely that place to go but that's kind of like going on vacation do you understand what I'm saying we spend a little bit more money on our house than we do on our Vacations so it's just an amazing time where things seem and can come from anywhere and I know there we're off the big high of South by and Twitter always gets a big push from there but I think as Twitter starts getting into mainstream world because don't get it twisted nobody knows what Twitter is we do you're watching right now you do but most people don't as it starts seeping into mainstream uh I think we're going to see a real opportunity for this app to have far more potential Big Ups to E I mean him and his crew those guys are killing it every time it feels like even Odio what they sold it for come on let's be honest they killed it so my question that I'm asking you tonight is Twitter or something like Twitter over the next five or 10 years and that's being ridiculous over the next 24 36 months uh have more upside and more importantly are you like me and you fully ECT Facebook to adjust to this changing scenario cuz it's always changing scenario and adjusting their feed mechanism to look and act and feel a lot more like the Twitter experience see you later G to kick you some more knowledge this Gary v. com stuff we're just not going to quit uhuh like P Diddy and uh biggie we're not quitting
