Give me your Tuenti

“¿? “Or” Are you on Facebook? “Are common questions and meetings with friends and family you have not already contacted over the Internet. As happened years ago with the revolution of the Messenger, social networks are becoming increasingly important in our lives. Who does not look on a daily or Facebook Tuenti ?

That in itself is very difficult to keep up to date both our accounts in social networks. In fact, it is not uncommon to find proponents and opponents of these or other networks. “You do not understand Facebook” or “Tuenti are not my friends.” What is it that makes us use a network or other ?

If you still time to choose, we’ll try to help by showing the advantages of the main functions of one or another social network.

Pictures

The photos are the star feature of any self-respecting social network. Both Tuenti work to be done as Facebook photo uploads and people labels as easy as possible.

Tuenti offers two sets of photo uploads, a basic one that works by selecting the photos up one by one, and another multiple, allowing us to navigate our folders and selecting the photos go up together.

On Facebook, of entry, we must use advanced photo charger, which works with Java (inconvenient for those who do not have installed). We may also use a charger similar to Tuenti simple. That yes, when uploading photos, we will have enough clicks to make before starting to rise, while in Tuenti sufficient to use the ubiquitous button “Upload photos”.

At the time of tagging photos are not just differences between the two social networks, which will not be a reason to stop using one or another.

Notifications

On the subject of notifications, Facebook offers more options, both for its diversity, its frequency and customization. Tuenti While there is no option to receive notification by mail and have to settle for that we are in the main window, on Facebook you can choose which notifications to receive, how often we want to do and which ones to block.

Activities

In Tuenti can quickly check on the latest updates from all our friends, and indicate what kind of activity have carried out (labels, uploaded photos, blog entries, comments on the boards, etc.).. On Facebook we see a little more information, filter by type of activity and hide those friends who do not want to know anything.

Friends

If we have a large number of friends in a social network, we have a problem in locating those developments that most interest us. In this sense, Facebook, to be rated by friends lists, is more usable than Tuenti that does not allow any organization by the user.

Private Messages

Personal messaging is central to both services. Facebook has the advantage of allowing conversations over a user in a private message, which Tuenti, for now, can not offer.

Chat

In this regard, both the chat Tuenti like Facebook are quite simple, limited to sending and receiving instant messages. Facebook Chat also lets you filter contacts lists.

Privacy

The policies and privacy settings, both as Tuenti Facebook, have greatly improved since launch, and today it is possible to state with whom we share our profile. Facebook also becomes even more customizable to support buddy lists.

Applications, events, groups and pages

Quizzes, games, support groups, fortune cookies, fan pages, etc.. tend to divide the users of Facebook. Many could not survive without all these features and many other death hate everything having to do with something external to communicate with their friends.

In the case of Tuenti by not having these tools, events become the “mixture” of them all, separating users between supporters of creating and disseminating odd events and / or fun and the enemies of these “chain mail” evolved in events.

Advertising

It often offers advertising in most Facebook pages, including profiles (which is not pleasant to most of their users). Tuenti, however, limits advertising to the home page, with a series of sponsored events and a video that plays automatically at logon.

These are just some of the options most striking of the two social networks. There are other reasons for using one or another network: whether or not our friends, to be invited (Tuenti no current record yet), the minimum age to use them, and so on.

And you, are you more of Tuenti or Facebook? Do you think there are other reasons why they use which? We encourage you to tell us which of the two you like best and why use it in a comment.
