Why Facebook Could Beat Twitter…

(Warning: If you’re not a social media geek, this post will probably bore you.)

3. because they just acquired FriendFeed, which at least one avid user says has better real-time search functionality than Twitter.

2. because their user base is roughly 10x the size and they’ve just enabled Twitter-like features, such as real-time search and public sharing.

And the number one reason Facebook could beat Twitter…

1. because as I write this Twitter is down again.
