People love to pit the social media titans against one another: who will rise as the victor? Tough to say, but there is some interesting competition amongst the 21st century giants on eBay. Currently, there are 123, Facebook-related items on eBay vs. 21, Twitter-
related items. If Twitter keeps taking the social media world my guess is that number will skyrocket—more books, more spoof tees, more tzotchkes. As far as popularity, I do know people are quickly becoming Facebook and Twitter addicts—myself included. I was never a Friendster or MySpacer and held out on creating a Facebook profile forever. Now, I am a slave to the site, posting blog entries, photos, and thinking of quippy status updates. Our Twitter-feed forces me to be even more punchy with my dialogue. I follow quite a few pop culture icons including: Britney Spears, Barack Obama, Martha Stewart, Ashton Kutcher, John Mayer, and Demi Moore. They would never be my Facebook friends so seeing their random musings on Twitter is amusing. However, some of them need to enroll in a seminar on how to craft class updates (quit using so many exclamation points!). Make sure to follow the Insider Blog on Twitter so you can hear our pop culture musings all day long.
