The thing about twitter is that I can choose who I follow without the whole semantics of being "friends", whereas half of these people I have never talked to. People who want to follow me do, and if they're relevant to my interest I follow back, twitter's gotten me entire writing gigs through being tangentially relevant to someone else. You can't really fault how amazing twitter really is in comparison to FB. It's essentially extremely streamlined social networking. Find people through your social networks and follow people that you're interested in.
Of course talking in terms of the entire facebook/myspace architecture there is of course a niche for that. I find that sort of paradigm of thinking is due another shift towards a hybrid between that. We're seeing that at the moment with Google+. Allowing being added into anonymous "circles" as they call it melds it somewhere in between a cross between Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter minus the teenage girl spam, added ease of access and a more streamlined access toward having concise information on your profile like facebook, the posting system of Tumblr and finally the "circles" which may be likened to the stance on "Following" and "followers" that twitter has.
