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.

What makes you think Facebook doesn't want to do topics also? You can already make things you post visible to everyone. It's not a huge leap.

I don't understand. What exactly does Twitter do that you don't think Facebook wants to move into?
