    Twitter vs. Facebook: my tweetstream is almost wall-to-wall with news from Ferguson. Only two mentions of it in my Facebook news feed.

      @gmarkham @mathewi Facebook is "friends, family, female". Friction averse.

      @gmarkham @timoreilly You don’t have any FB friends in Ferguson; Twitter has viral spread of first person accounts Facebook will never get

      @gmarkham @rakyll The perils of conflating public and private spaces. Twitter could also decide tomorrow to filter whatever it likes.

      .@gmarkham @davidisen that's because FB is about exploiting FB users and not about what the internet might have been (and yet might be).
