Twitter or LinkedIn?

Twitter taught me to think in headlines, LinkedIn taught me to tell stories, both grew my business in different ways.

For me, it depends on the goal: • Twitter (or X) is great for building quick connections and sharing bite-sized insights. • LinkedIn is perfect for deeper conversations, professional networking, and showcasing thought leadership. I use both, but curious—which one’s been more effective for you?

LinkedIn in India. For B2C brands, Instagram works. I used Twitter (now X) when I was in the PR fraternity to connect with journalists.

I’ve been on Twitter for over a year, but I haven’t really been active on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn taught me more ways to think.

Twitter for developer connections, LinkedIn for B2B networking & leads

X

Linkedin for work, Twitter for fun.

LinkedIn only. Never succeeded to stay on any other online social media. :)

linkedin for sure! 99% of my clients come from linkedin

if I have to choose one, it's linkedin, but b/c I have more connections there twitter is kinda lame that it downranks external links ideally, engagement power being equal, I'd prefer x in practice, I do both

Linkedin in our case

I think both Twitter and LinkedIn can help your business grow, but each platform serves a different purpose and audience. For your business, if you’re looking to reach professionals, potential clients, or partners, LinkedIn could be more effective. However, if you want to engage with a wider audience, especially for quick updates, Twitter would be better

Problem with LI is that it's too busy. There's a ton of automated InMail etc. and it's hard to know if anyone's actually interested in talking. Also, all kinds of people have clout in LI for some reason. X is different. Everyone is there, and for some reason, they're more open to talking. I have had great success in engaging on X and pushing to a call, sale etc. It does take work though, and you have to reply-guy or you'll never get anywhere as a brand.

Sorry I hate both :-) I’m certainly missing something, but on X I rarely got useful connection. On Li I’m overwhelmed by salespeople…

LinkedIn is great. Can’t see X taking off again

I've seen more success engaging people on Twitter too. LinkedIn feels too noisy and formal. On Twitter, if you provide value in your tweets and engage thoughtfully, people are definitely more open to further discussion. It does require consistent effort to build your brand presence though. Gotta be active and put yourself out there rather than just lurking.

Twitter no doubt!
