Facebook *used* to be more social and less network, and then they added their developer platform, and a lot of noise got added to the system. I'm sure that will die down, though. I too like how it presents the most important information -- what my important people are up to -- right there on one page.

Thanks for explaining why you like Twitter; I'd kind of been ignoring it to this point because I was already overwhelmed with info, but your post got me interested again.
