   YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook will combine to form a new company called   
   YouTwitFace.  ;)   
      
   Seriously, I think Facebook is a good way to keep up with what your friends   
   are up to and keep in contact with them, as well as share what you're up to.   
   However, Facebook lends itself really easily to drama - Sometimes people use   
   Facebook to post nasty things about other people; in other cases, since much   
   of what you do there is public, you might want to be careful about what you   
   comment on or click "like" on, etc., because people (or at least just your   
   Facebook "friends") will (usually) be able to see your activity one way or   
   another.    
   Personally, I haven't thought of anything really useful for me to post on   
   Twitter, but I've heard that one use of Twitter is that there are people who   
   are highly regarded in various industries who post updates on Twitter, and   
   people "follow" them on Twitter to see what they're up to, and people learn   
   about new industry trends that way.  I've heard about people in the software &   
   web development industries, for instance, who post updates on Twitter, which   
   others follow.   
      
   What I've noticed is that people tend to use Facebook mostly for personal   
   stuff, and people tend to use Twitter mostly for professional (or less   
   personal) stuff - but there are people who use both for both reasons.
