'Twitter Forces Facebook to Open up Beyond "Friends"'

Enabling users to make status updates visible to “Everyone” was one step in the direction of Twitter. The aim is to provide services like “trending topics” and other aggregate features that help bring disconnected users together. The benefit is that users can find ...those individuals involved in similar conversations rather than searching for an application targeted at them. In other words, users get to connect through an open conversation stream.
