New sources of social media have been sprouting over the years and have become a popular way for people to communicate. Since the rise of Twitter and Facebook, companies have been competing to be the best. Both incorporate communication in different ways. Twitter can be seen more as a information/news network while Facebook “functions as the yellow pages for the internet.”  While Twitter has an enormous community of 200 million monthly users, it stands no chance against Facebook’s 1 billion. Granted that Twitter came to be a few years after Facebook, it still has a chance to become a formidable competitor in the social media world. Both rely heavily on advertisements to expand their revenue and growth as a company. Facebook has incorporated Instagram, a photo-sharing app, which has generated a much larger fan-base. On the other hand, Twitter has recently purchased Vine, a short video-sharing app, which has also drawn in a plethora of new users.
