Facebook gunning for Twitter
If Facebook offers a "communication utility" consistently, as part of their platform, it has way more users than Twitter and should be able to push it aside pretty quickly.
Twitter is interesting and sorta fun but it's annoying that I can't interact with it the way I want to--at least not consistently. Any limitation or change that forces people to change their behavior is a negative. SMS is bit annoying too in that you can't mass communicate, at least not for free.
As VentureBeat notes:
The "for free" part isn't so much a dig at Twitter, which also lets you message for free, but a dig at simple text messaging services (also known as SMS), that cost money to use.

I use Facebook, and I use Twitter. And I monitor my friends' updates on both using a variety of tools. With Twitter, I get each and every update logged, so I don't have to catch the update in real time. With Facebook, my RSS feed may or may not catch every status update from every person; there's a time limit in there somewhere, and if someone updates their status more than once every X amount of time, you'll only see the most recent update.
That's pretty much the only plus for Twitter in this debate.
When did so many people have their imaginations removed?
