Twitter or Instagram, Which Do You Prefer?
I've been so busy and occupied in recent days, coupled with the fact that I have been experiencing severe light outage in my place. I heard something blew in the transformer, and I'm not sure how long the repair will take. I hope they rectify it soon.
Back to the Topic Of The Day
WHAT IS TWITTER?
Twitter is a microblogging platform whose primary purpose is to connect people and enable them to share their thoughts with a larger audience. It was created by Jack Dorsey in 2006.
WHAT IS INSTAGRAM?
Instagram is an online image and video sharing platform that allows users to edit and upload pictures and videos alongside other features that come with microblogging platforms, such as bookmarking and private messaging.
My Take
Purpose
I have been on both platforms for over 5 years now and all I have to say is that, your preference depends on the reason or purpose for which you want to use them.
For instance, if you are a business owner who wants to publicize his or her business by occasionally posting images of goods and services, Instagram is the best app to use in this case.
Interaction also takes place on Instagram, but it's quite rare unlike Twitter.
Diversity
Twitter, on the other hand, is more diversified than Instagram. Other than pictures, Twitter can also be used to share messages, links and a host of other things.
Interaction on Twitter is more advanced than that on Instagram. A lot of people familiarize with each other on there.
I prefer Twitter over Instagram due to its diversity, most especially its advanced mode of interaction amongst members of the platform.
There's also a popular observation that people on Twitter are more rational than those on Instagram, and it's nothing short of the truth.
A post that goes against a universal principle of life might be posted on Instagram and it meets no negative reaction, but once it's posted on Twitter, everybody seems to have rational opinions and criticisms regarding the case at hand.
Twitter also comes with its disadvantages because everybody seems to have an opinion on there regardless of whether it's right or wrong. A notable example is @DanielRegha on Twitter. The guy has an opinion on virtually all topics.
So which do you prefer? Instagram or Twitter

I still prefer Twitter to Instagram, apart from the fact that Instagram is data consuming, it has no relevant information when it comes to news and interaction with people. Twitter is a place where you can relate with people and share your opinion, Instagram is mainly for entertainment.
