Don't get me wrong - I love Twitter. But these are two completely different platforms. Twitter does one thing really well; Facebook just has a LOT more functionality. And given a choice between .01% of Facebook's stock and a similar slice of Twitter's, I'll take for former. Not that I get to pick either one.
