Regardless of what they’re doing I can tell you it’s not dramatically altering my user experience. That’s for damn sure. They need to work on making it easier to manage posted content. Managing photos for instance, or even getting to the upload screen, or the area where you can view your albums requires far too many clicks. The NewsFeed is great and all, but that’s not all a social site is supposed to be about.

I think the real problem is that Facebook is trying too hard to be something it’s not. Social sites like Facebook are about retaining information, like a repository, that family and friends can peruse at leisure. Twitter on the other hand is all about what’s happening, but what’s happening right now.

They’re two very different things and should be treated as such, because both have their merits and shouldn’t try to copy each other. Not that Twitter is doing any copying from Facebook that is.
