OK so you're measuring success based on short term PR 'buzz'. Thankyou. Personally, I use different metrics.

  I think it's just that you're measuring overall success of the site (where you're undoubtedly correct), and he's talking specifically about the real time aspects (in which he is undoubtedly correct.)

    Ah of course. Facebook isn't realtime! ;)

      It's not that, it's that people aren't using Facebook for real time communication. "Real time" is incidental to the Facebook Experience (tm) whereas it's one of the biggest parts about Twitter. Nobody is texting to Facebook's short number to update thier status; they're all installing apps to import their Twitter feeds. The difference is significant.
