[...] Mentre da un lato i sostenitori della privacy si preoccupano, a mio parere giustamente, della vendita dei dati personali degli utenti di Facebook alle aziende per finalità di marketing, dall’altro il primo social network al mondo incomincia ad aprirsi: dapprima aderisce alla OpenID Foundation (sebbene un articolo di Ars Technica si chieda perché, vista la diametricalmente opposta soluzione rappresentata dall’OpenID rispetto al Facebook Connect), poi annuncia la disponibilità di nuove API, le quali consentono di rendere pubblico lo status dei propri utenti (in maniera simile a quella di Twitter), ma anche le note, i links ed i video, un insieme di dati che da ora in avanti sarà altresì accessibile dal di fuori del servizio di social networking da parte di altri siti web od applicazioni (Facebook ha inoltre rilasciato delle nuove API per facilitare le applicazioni esterne nella creazione di contenuti sulla sua piattaforma). Ci si domanda poi da più parti se e come l’apertura degli statuses utente da parte di Facebook possa in qualche modo danneggiare Twitter, essendo una mossa pensata anche (e soprattutto?) per creare competizione al popolarissimo servizio di microblogging, ma sempre da più parti si risponde che Twitter non ha in realtà molto da temere da ciò, considerate le evidenti diversità di utilizzo degli statuses dei due servizi (vedere in proposito gli articoli di TechCrunch e di GigaOM).

Twitter and Facebook serve different needs. Facebook has fine(r) grained privacy controls which makes me more confident about putting say semi private/ slightly sensitive information. (Yeah yeah , I know the privacy of facebook is illusory, but it is better than complete public information)

Twitter is really a shout box to broadcast information, more like a blog. If I had an opinion about a movie, I would like the world to know ! even the @communication is info which is meant to be public. If I wanted to give my opinion on something I would like to put it in a place where it has an audience which by virtue of it being public is Twitter.

Which is why I use twitter to update facebook. Information I have in twitter can go to facebook. The other direction is not so kosher …

In the end facebook and twitter have different kinds of information. Thus there is good reason for twitter not to be afraid .. StockTwits is better served by twitter and not facebook status updates (If my status contained information about stocks, I would be considered a dork)

With the Twitter app installed on your facebook account you can use both right from FB…it starts to get cumbersome when you have to follow lots of multiple browser screens at once…

Perhaps the best example of the different roles of Twitter and FB: one of the hottest apps for BlackBerry these days involves the beta trials of SocialScope (only on BlackBerry – socialscope.net) where a user can follow both Twitter and Facebook activity concurrently. It’s getting lots of conversations over in Twitterville while they work through scalability and integration issues (for instance, Twitpic integration presents a challenge0>

(And, having just attended a Toronto event about the BlackBerry Developer Community last week, attended by over 250 developers, RIM/BlackBerry is also seriously into that competition for developers referenced by Brendan.)
