Good read. Based on my experience of these two social networking sites, I find Facebook more suitable if you are aiming for a way to stay in touch with loved-ones and do some activities with them such as games and applications.

Also both twitter and Facebook serve different purposes - Twitter is good for telegraph style 140 character shout outs. Unlike Twitter, Facebook is good to announce other happenings of your life in a non-limited fashion via text or multi media. Also, think about it, younger generations live by their cells during class or mall time so twitter may be more appropriate for them.

I also read on a site that older generations use AOL but I strongly doubt Gen Y do.
