You don't understand one very important thing about such investigation
(no offence, by the way it's a common mistake): searching through
people that are using FireBug isn't enough; anyway, if they are still
using it - it's OK for them, more or less. One thing that is MUCH MORE
important is to investigate why guys that ain't using FB ain't using
it :) There are lots of developers that could get help from FB but for
some reasons were not satisfied by it. They ain't writing about it,
they ain't discussing it - and we can't investigate what should we do
to make the product more useful for them.

And, by the way, only a part - and quite a specific part - of guys
that use FB do use Twitter as well.
