Hi all, I was just wondering Between Facebook and Nairaland which would you prefare. Its no news the rate at which the facebook book bug has swept through the nation with almost every secondary school, university, state, group being represented. I even think you can get more info from facebook than you from Nairaland, the best is getting in touch with people you have lost contact with from the numerous network availabe anyway, i still prefare nairaland i only wish it could get more of those features facebook has. What do you think?

You have a point

Nairaland is a discussion forum. Facebook is not.

There's no basis for comparison. Facebook is way beyond Nairaland.

That's not to say i don't appreciate Nairaland. Afterall, Naira first lol.

ode!

They serve different purposes entirely. FB is for social networking,NL is for discussions on various topics and issues.
Naturally, people prefer fun and funky places,FB has this more than NL.
Personally, if I'm asked to choose one of FB and NL, I'll go for NL because it makes my day more than FB.
With due respect, I know alot of people who will not join NL just because they are less intellectually inclined and can't argue or debate.They prefer fun-filled FB.
Conversely, some other people, especially the elderly and well-read, prefer FB to NL for that same reason-that is, NL is just full of young guys and gals that are too 'small' for them to engage in intellectual argument. This is why we have the likes of Pat Utomi,Bella Adenuga and some Senators on FB. I was surprised when i saw one Punch columnist, Joe Adeyeye,  quote NL in one of his weekly articles.

By the way,I personally gain more from and so prefer NL to FB, but I know many Nigerians,by our nature(flashy,colourful etc), will prefer FB to NL.

make una dey yarn with sentiments oooooh!!!!
nairaland is no where near facebook, plain and simple
even seun no go open him mouth talk say him wan compare them

nigerians sha, all na sentiments

not a fan of facebook, myspace, hi5 etc. All i know, don't use the same computer that you use to check your bank accounts/pay bills to log in to these forums. Use a different computer (Hackers). I have the same rule for Nairaland too.

Peace

I dont think there's any basis for comparism. Facebook is all about networking, NL is all about discussion!!

Me, I prefer NL to FB anytime anyday cos I love _gossips discussions

Yeah really, i dont think it shd be compared. Facebook is a global social networking site, NL is for us Nigerians and is a discussion site.

Tho, of late ffacebook has become so annoying, the amebo there is just too much! Now everyone knows everyone's biz, you get me?

Cayon:

All i know, don't use the same computer that you use to check your bank accounts/pay bills to log in to these forums. Use a different computer (Naughty Boys). I have the same rule for Nairaland too.

Peace

This is a valuable info. . . . Thanks.

Nairaland makes my day than FB

To me, i will say facebook is far better than nairaland.
You can't compare both.
I prefer facebook.
They are different,

You are comparing a social networking platform with a forum, I dont see any basis for comparison.

There is a lot that can be done with Facebook and there is high increase of users from Nigeria which will soon out number nairaland users.

Cehck the statitics here http://faizbash./

What's there to gain on Facebook apart from catching up with old friends and looking at pictures

I spend more time on NL than FB

BOTH ARE VERY DEAR TO ME, SERVE VERY DIFFERENT PURPOSES. CANT SAY WHICH I PREFER. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I CAN DEFINITELY DO WITHOUT BOTH.

The only 2 sites i have auto sign in for(save password). . .

The 1st sites i open when i open a browser. . .any browser

The only 2 sites i can stay signed in for 24hrs 36 72 lol . . . .

Facebook and Nairaland is a nice combination.

FACEBOOK cannot and never be compared to my dearest nairaland o, cant swap anything for it,loving it eachday that passes,infact i forbid to say am addicted to nairaland

It all depends on what you are searching for, for instance talk about research and getting true and wide picture about people opinion on an issue concerning Nigeria I will go for Nairaland but when am thinking of playing or socialising I think facebook because it's a good buddy on that -

hmmmm, still thinking, can i go and think about it?

thank u.

papine:

hmmmm, still thinking, can i go and think about it?

But in facbook, once and Ode, always be and Ode,

Jus joking,

But i will rather go for Nairaland, it's where every nija should be, really,

nl

They're both okay but I prefer nairaland more.The reason?, Nairaland is more educative and informative than facebook.Nairaland has helped me to double my millions.This is where I first knew the Naija stock exchange was back and I had to make some researches and invested and it's helped.Thanks to nairaland.

Abeg wetin dem de do for facebook?Nairaland na baba jo

They are two parallel lines and can't meet. They are both for fun but there is another distinction to the both of 'em

Bone sentiment, i can't choose which is better 'cos i get different things from them aside fun,

I totally agree.

anyway, facebook has more photos than Nairaland, obviously. After all, that's specifically what it's for.

Its hard to make a decision. I love both Facebook (social website) and Nairaland (internet forum).

i think facebook is gud wit all its features and the rest but nairaland is operating in a country wit issues and we are still developing u know so we should give props to these guys cos they rock and besides nairaland is relevant to nigeria and nigerians so guys wise up
