The Answerbank -V- Twitter
61 Answers
This question has puzzled me since reading a discussion between andy-hughes and douglas a few days ago. Not being a great fan of social media I know little about it so for those seeking discussion here rather than genuine answers to specific queries what’s the difference between The AnswerBank and Twitter? Pros and cons?

I agree with O_G, in that it is a matter of coverage and popularity.
Twitter is world wide and concentrates on individual and group trivialities, AB used to be a vehicle for answering questions, but is now basically denigrated to lower rank of Twitter. CB is more like Twitter, but more trivial and confusing and a branch of AB, that is GMEB is a popular inconsequential chat involving the same dozen people.
So there you go......all much of a muchness based on popularity.

The disadvantage of anonimity [sic] is that -- well, there are a lot actually, of which just two below:
1. Anonymous people tend to find it easier to be rude (certainly more so than they would be if there were personal repercussions for their behaviour);
2. When it comes to matters where expertise is highly beneficial, there's no way to check whether an anonymous source is genuinely well-informed or is just faking it.
Twitter has real people online as well as the usual crowd of anonymous accounts. Indeed, it sometimes has real people who are at or near the very top (of politics, art, film, science, etc). That could in principle be rather good for encouraging genuine connexion between, in particular, politicians and those they represent.
In practice, it mainly ends up being filled with people either violently agreeing or violently disagreeing with what others say, but never mind.

For me the only difference is that I'm an Aber and my husband is an avid member of the twittersphere.
He has asked numerous times if he could join Ab and I more or less told him that if he stays away from Ab, I'll stay away from Twitter.
As far as I can ascertain Twitter is no more than a platform to spout political opinions, inundate your fan club with boring details about your life or voice your grumbles against corporations and force their customer services to resolve your dispute. The latter has worked for us when my husband has moaned variously about Peugeot, Icelandair, Debenhams, etc.

Answerbank leaders get their acolytes to secretly swear allegiance and promise to back them whatever guff is emitted.
Sub-groupings are encouraged to promote strength in numbers and for the rescue of luminaries should they push things just a tad beyond the believable.
Spats between sub-groupings are not pleasant to witness, defying reason. The big fish in the increasingly smaller pond is to be protected.
That's the only reason I can come up with for some of the downright weirdness I read.
Twitter's more of everyone for themselves unless already established in the real world I think.
