Is there any evidence for this claim that a Tweet has more "cultural significance" than a Facebook post with objectively higher engagement?
I think this illusion comes about because the media prefers to use Tweets as the minimum unit of cultural exchange, so Twitter receives attention as the medium in which these exchanges take place - even though it isn't, really.
