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.
