But I can't see Facebook regaining Twitter users en mass. Facebook is essentially too noisy, it's trying to be everything whilst it's the simplicity of Twitter that I like, I know exactly what I get with Twitter. It's also the speed of information on Twitter through it's 3rd party apps that give it a competitive edge over Facebook. The people I follow in Twitter is also very different to that in Facebook. Facebook is full of people I know and have met, a place to stalk the nearest and dearest. But on Twitter it's different, instead I have people I haven't met but follow because they work in my industry or are interesting. There's little overlap of people that appear in both my streams. As I use Twitter to find stuff out rather than just post what I'm doing I can't see Facebook ever taking over.
