Facebook testing real-time updates

Facebook said it is dabbling with a Twitter-like feature

How is this different to status updates?

 

[Tomtomtom]

It's creepier?

Another thing to switch off.

Facebook is not Twitter.

I wish they would stop trying to copy Twitter! They are completely different.

The title confused me. I thought it was about time updates. Please use a hyphen in between real and time

Facebook updates are practically real-time already though aren't they? If I sit with my home page open or a photo open then the comments pop up as they are submitted.
