Yeeeij Real-time Facebook Stream?

Facebook Stream will take over News Feed and show real-time activities (status updates, photo and video posting etc.) of other users on your homepage. Since Twitter’s growing popularity is based on real-time interaction and exchange of information this could mean a step fwd for Facebook.

The difference remains in adding people to your friendlist. While Twitter encourages people to interact with people they don’t necessarily know in real life, Facebook was designed to support keeping the relationships and not getting to know new random people. Friends on my Facebook friend list are people that I got to know and befriend in my real life and a few colleagues from work sphere. However on Twitter I add and follow people that have sth to say or have information on different fields that interest me (i.e. social media, marketing, retail…). Very little actual friends of mine use Twitter…

Fortunately users can set privacy levels for different content, so it is possible to use Facebook as a friend connection and professional network. It's no fun adjusting these levels, but it's better than future regrets you might get...

The statistics show that although Facebook users are engaged in use for a longer period, Twitter users are actually partially attentive throughout the day. Facebook wants to achieve just that. I believe user engagement on Facebook will be increased for it will become even more interactive and interesting. But that probably depends on the number of actively involved friends one has in his/her network. I am sure in few months we will forget how the current Facebook even looked like and enjoy the perks of streaming our lives…*alivea*
