The Stars Fade On Facebook - Heading For Twitter

Celebrities are finding it hard to know who is who on Facebook. Some are complaining that they are not able to distinguish friends from people who are just plain bored with their lives. Because of this some are making the switch to Twitter.
In a recent article it states that::
After Bill Gates recently admitted that he had given up on Facebook because he couldn’t work out which of his friend requests came from friends and which from very sad people, another of the world’s great famous people has declared her Facebook unfriendliness.
Yes, Martha Stewart, perhaps one of the most iconic cooks, has decided that she is firmly in the Twitter camp and that Facebook just has to face her rejection.
“I just love it (Twitter) so much more than Facebook,” she told the Daily Beast.
Stewart claims she gets more bang per tweet. But why knock Facebook? It’s so homely, so friendly and so very inclusive of every possible political and social view, even frightfully repulsive ones.
But the statement I liked the best was this one from Martha Stewart:
I prefer Twitter as a means of mass communication–it’s the Wal-Mart of the Internet.
I must admit I found Twitter much more to my liking as well. To me it is less time consuming to use. But that is just my opinion.
Comments welcome.

I think that social networks are, in some way a matter of trendiness.
I can remember only one (Linkedin) that survived for more than a decade, while I see people moving from one social network to another one in different times.
This behavoiur doesn’t seem strange to me, because a social network is worth for the number of people that use it, and so if a big number of users goes to another site, other will automaticcaly follow.
What I expect for the future is this circle (open-use-find another-close-and so on) going faster and faster, leaving at a certain point only those few social networks that, for they’re nature (e.g. because are niche players, because of fidelization, because of elite admission,…) are able to maintain a well dimensioned number of users.

I must agree. This week it is Twitter. Next week who knows what it will be.
