Better Buy: Facebook vs. Twitter

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) are two of the most well-known social networks in the world. Nearly 2.4 billion people use Facebook's family of services -- which includes its namesake app, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp -- each day. Twitter served only 166 million monetizable daily active users (mDAUs) last quarter, but it punches far above its weight in terms of social and political influence.
