I have a very basic Facebook page, with just enough personal information so that people I've lost contact with over the years can find me if they wish to. But I prefer to keep up with friends and family either in person, or via phone or email, and I don't update my own page more than once every few weeks. I found Twitter to be far too expensive (in terms of wasted time) to be worth bothering with. It's not just the necessarily regular checking for new tweets, but the fact that this distracts me and breaks the flow of whatever I am supposed to be doing. I would guess that twitter users waste many hours per week (and possibly per day for heavy users) like this, in exchange for relatively few insightful comments or useful links. I think it plays off people's desire for instant gratification, but the opportunity cost of using it is very high.
