Facebook wants to aggregate status between friends. Twitter wants to aggregate status between topics. This fundamental difference drives extremely different models for using micro-updates and subsequently renders Facebook and Twitter as non-competitors.

One of the better descriptions of the difference between Twitter and Facebook that I’ve read. I don’t think they are at war the way major media publications portray them to be. Facebook is closed, Twitter is open. Facebook will never be Twitter.
