As any regular Facebook user knows, quizzes are some of the most popular applications in use on the social network. Every day, our News Feeds are filled with everything from the latest variation on the “5 Things” theme to the “What (insert popular movie title) character are you?” and more.

Facebook vs. Twitter

I was thinking the other day about the differences between Facebook and Twitter. Twitter is nice because you are able to “follow” people and see what they find interesting. Facebook is nice because you can share pictures and videos right on the site.
