Think you've got a bad case of it brother.
Twitter will never become Facebook. I think the core team at Twitter takes pride in the fact that their application is lightweight and simple. I don't see them adding a lot of functionality - they'll leave that up to 3rd party developers.
The other day I saw a book at Barnes and Noble titled "Facebook for Dummies". A year ago this book couldn't exist because Facebook was just too simple. But now that Facebook has ambitions to be the OS for the Internet that has changed.
The day you see a "Twitter for Dummies" book at your local book store, Twitter will have jumped the shark and lost it's appeal. In essence, Twitter will cease being Twitter.
Regarding your point about most Twitter users having websites:

I noted that over 90% of these users had websites in their profiles.
They're not the typical Twitter users, but this may be indicative of a larger trend.
"but don’t all relationships start that way?"
Well, many do, but not all. But I seem to recall you started your relationship with Twitter more with disdain or at least with disregard or disinterest... there she was, in all her beauty, right in front of you, and you were nearly disgusted... at first... then you fell for her... hard. Classic story, love it.
Who knows, maybe your affection for her will make me take a second look at her, in a new way... Spring is in the air after all.
:-)
You do recall correctly, Pat. It was disdain.
Maybe this love story will make the big screen someday.
I think I was taking Twitter too literally back then with the question it was (and still is) asking, "What are you doing?"
Also, back then the people I wanted to follow (related to Brian's Affiliate Summit experiment) were being really annoying with it. Most of them have since figured out how to toe the line. ;)
Anyway, a year has passed and the usage has seriously matured, and my attitude has changed. (obviously)

hi, I personally see twitter and facebook as two distinct communities. The twitter community just waits and rarely answers the tweet. But on the other side facebook is a really community site. facebook is like you are really standing in the middle of your street and are talking to your friends and they sometimes like your arguments and sometimes focefully deny them.
We all love to use facebook. Nowadays its like part and parcel of our daily life to check new notification, friends requests in facebook. Facebook made this big world into a little ball which you can hold in your hand. I think facebook made a revolution in Social networking. Everyday its adding new features to attract its users and to give its users new taste of socialism. I love almost every features of facebook except the new timeline tweak. I don't know I just feel annoyed when I see someone timeline. Maybe its awkward for me but many users still like it. But I decided to take it out of my facebook account and I found this
http://www.genius24.info/2012/05/facebook-timeline-remove-082.html - Facebook Timeline Remove 0.8.2 !. Its really working and I feel great with it. I'd recommend it to all the facebook users who don't like facebook time. Thanks.

This morning I watched Gary Vaynerchuk with no C compare Facebook and Twitter and thought I'd grab my own real-time reaction to what he had to say.
Rather than a comparison between Twitter and Facebook, which there isn't much of in my opinion, I find myself wondering, will Twitter turn into Facebook?
I know some of you are probably asking, why the fascination with Twitter? In my mind, it's got potential on par with Facebook and Myspace. If you're the type of person that would read a blog like this (except you mom) you need to know Twitter. Even if it hurts, jump in. Friend me on Twitter.
Very low production and preparation for this video. If I'm going to be able to post with any regularity, I need just push these out. So, damn the black eye and the facial hair. To hell with preparation and editing. Let's get on with it.
