I guess the tempting, although perhaps crude, comparison for me lay in them both being 'social layers' of Bitcoin, putting aside the nuances you've articulated.
My basic understanding is, as a permission-less global unit of exchange, Bitcoin can and will coordinate all economic activity happening over the internet. I'd be interested in your take on this.
Nah, stick to the vision, mate. To me SN is the 'Town Hall' that Bitcoiners need, I think probably due to the coordination element you're referencing. The community here truly has expanded my consciousness and helped to broaden my understanding since I began taking my first baby steps down the proverbial rabbit hole. Many people here devoted to the truth and educating others, without the ego of Xitter. Though not perfect--as some like to point out more than others, there will always be retards and "ass-milkers" ready to take advantage of a good thing--but truly great.

Fair. Actually, I think that's the way most people see it and why some people feel like they have to pick one.
It might be confirmation bias, but I find twitter-like social experiences poorly suited to achieving social consensus on any matter (let alone bitcoin). Social consensus on twitter-like sites seems to mostly be top-down - great for mantras, platitudes, promotions, and commands from high status or status seeking people.
I'd rather bitcoiners go back to the talk forum or delving than another twitter-like platform as the social layer.
To be clear, I like twitter-ish sites but I mostly use them for entertainment, worshiping very specific people, and leads on breaking news.

I'd agree. The main point I'm making is that bitcoin will allow us to coordinate in ways that weren't possible before. I think bitcoin will allow us to solve coordination problems on the internet that we've only solved IRL and solve coordination problems that only exist at the internet's scale.
