I don't have a twitter or tumblr. The only other thing I have is a Myspace.

Facebook. Twitter seems silly. "Put my panties now." (as a twit) (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-7.gif&hash=9f27f1603b9ef76a5d4bbeedcd1615f680c36e8b)

Hey, hey, hey—I use Twitter.
It has its purpose just as Facebook does (which I also use). I have my Facebook private, which I use to communicate with family and friends. My Twitter account I use to promote myself, primarily as a singer-songwriter, but other things as well. I do not "tweet" my every move, thought, etc—though I will admit I have made some downright useless posts ;D (but as well on Facebook).
But anyway, to answer the question: I use both.

I don't know how to use twitter, but I frequently post through facebook. Facebook is nice because I do not need to say how I am getting along when I meet my friends.

I prefer Twitter, I used to not 'get' it, but during the London riots last year I noticed that the reports of those on Twitter let me know what was going on and where the mobs were a good hour before any official news source.
Since then, I have communicated with experts on eighteenth century history and literature, discovered new bands and generally been better connected to the things I enjoy. It's not a great social tool, but it's a brilliant information one.
Of course the experience of it is defined by who you follow, I mainly follow historians and literature types, and a few jokers.
As for facebook, I forgot my password and can't get a new one sent to my email (because it's an old email) and I haven't missed it at all. Not hearing about Revd Lou's nail polish and Gareth Jones' lunch is not a huge loss.

I am out on Facebook and have the connects with my present and past there. I am out on Myspace but its mostly for me and most of my contacts have to do with my interests in music and such which I don't want to inflict on anybody. I inflict my interest on people on Facebook.

I have doubts about Facebook, too. But on the other side it is the only way to stay in touch with many of my old friends. I do not want to lose them completely.

Facebook but only because I tend to be ignorant of new tech.
IE
Still rocking a 64 well into the gamecube days and a gamecube when the wii came out etc. I'd still be on myspace if my friends didn't tell me about facebook.

Twitter and ->-bleeped-<- here.
I can't bring myself to join Facebook, with all the stories of drama and employers demanding access to Facebook and stuff it's just easier for me to say to friends and family "tough, email or snail mail take your pick" .
Twitter has been very helpful for me, like pica said it's far faster then any other news aggregate out there. Once you get used to how it works Twitter can be a powerful, and sometimes entertaining tool.
->-bleeped-<- is also another service I use that's much like Twitter but far less limited.

I use Facebook (no twitter) and Tumblr - though I'm a bit ambivalent about Tumblr... it's interesting in an "experimental" kind of way.
