I think Twitter feeds are easier to follow. My posts can easily be lost between the stupid FB games being played, links, photos and videos. So when it comes to pure status updates, then Twitter is better. But this is only a part of it. The real beauty is following news accounts, artists, celebs, blogs, tech/financial companies etc. Trends help you find out what's going on, though half of the times it's full of stupid hashtags and lame meme's. But it's up to you to make use of it sensibly. If you don't want to post updates on Twitter, don't. No one's asking you to. It's your profile. You do what you want with it. Follow whom you want to. Moderate your list of followers. Don't call it gay just cos you don't like ONE of the ways it is being used.
