The issue with the new Facebook is that people used Facebook as a way to connect with random people they kinda met. Random people you've kinda met often have pictures you might find interesting or contact info you'd like to look up. You don't want to be updated on what they're doing every day - you just don't care. And so now people are inundated with information they just don't want because they really only care about a small subset of their friends. Twitter, on the other hand, being based around this philosophy doesn't require two-way relationships and people "followed" others knowing that they wanted this data flying at them. I don't know whether this stat is valid or anything, but I think Facebook just has a different social graph than sites like Twitter and that Facebook's graph isn't people you want these style updates on.
