As a "Generation Y" member that does use Twitter, I feel like my reasons should be given. Facebook is for many of my good friends, while Twitter I use to connect with a more technology-centric crowd. While a few of my good friends that aren't very tech oriented use twitter, most don't, which leads to twitter stream to be filled with more stuff that I find more interesting than my Facebook stream.

I'm also a gen-y member and this is exactly the same way I use Twitter. I keep Facebook strictly limited to people I have met in person, face-to-face. On top of this I have most of my account locked down so that only friends I mark as "close" can see all of my information. For Twitter I don't mind following some popular developers, tech folks, etc. I also don't tweet that often - I usually just follow those that interest me.
