If you use Facebook, you will soon notice a change in the layout of their pages. To say it is “Twitter inspired” would be an understatement, but that led us to ask: “Is there a difference?”

Twitter, the micro-blogging site, has taken off among the über need-to-be-connected crowd, and Facebook has recognized this phenomenon and realized that this is segment of users is within their business plan.

In terms of business owners, Twitter can be a bit much to wrap your head around. Because of this, we recommend using Facebook – especially as it continues to evolve and stay current to trends – for staying in touch with your customers and fans.

If you haven’t already, go set up a Facebook page for your business, target adding your Top 9% customers, and use your new online presence to communicate (positive and negative feedback) with your new “friends”. Use status updates to communicate specials, changes, and promotions and establish yourself as a company that is interested in partnering with your customers.
