I know nothing of Twitter, so I can't comment on that. But LJ definitely beats FB for communication; there's just so much more room to get your thoughts down. Plus, the interface doesn't randomly hide things from you.
On FB it's far too easy to make an endless series of brief and meaningless posts. No one will evennotice the brevity or vacuity, since every other post there is pretty similar. On LJ, if you post a one liner, it really stands out, so most people tend to say more (unless the one-liner is actually worth its own entry).
LJ gives you the space to actually explore your ideas. You also have to at least come up with one word to reply -- none of this 'liking' bullshit.
