Well it depends on the company you keep in general, but I've noticed with higher quality company on both platforms that on Facebook the conversation can go deeper. On twitter you're just lucky to have a conversation. In terms of the image that has a paragraph of text I'm looking at it from a UX perspective, and it's broken. There are other things that are broken as well that encourage trolls. With any social platform there is a gamification factor, and Twitter quite often rewards anti-community behavior. And on a level I get that there is the DNA of what the product is: And yes if you clutter the service with features it will become bloatware. But that said the whole thing is a mess. Take lists as an example: It's really hard to find that feature, so something that can add to the service is never found. PS With spam on twitter I'm talking spambots which i see all the time and don't really see too often on facebook.
