I don't know most of the people I follow on Twitter in real life but I would argue that I do know them personally because I follow a pretty small group and see most of what they post. So I have gotten to know people on Twitter personally over time.
It's interesting because I can't say the same for HN. I only recognize a few dozen usernames and only really feel like I know the personalities of a couple of those people. This is despite having been on HN for far longer (in both calendar time and hours spent).
