Twitter is useful for following “real-time” conversations and marketing spam. However Twitter could never replace the RSS feeds that I follow.

Totally agree. I am a newbie to Twitter --2 months!--, but it did impact dramatically my look-for-info experience. Read on.

I did something similar for a group I belong to, rss feeds of the group member’s blogs go to one twitter account for those who belong to the group. I never got into the habit of using an rss feeder. It isn’t private and gives us all more exposure.

After writing a really long reply here, I figured it would make a better blog post…

Hi Kelly. I think it’s entirely possible you are correct, and don’t worry – your secret is safe with me!

I don’t think RSS will replace Twitter. In fact it will compliment Twitter and all blogs. Even if a twitter profile is blocked (only viewable by approved list of contacts), there are ways to read Twitterers’ twits and that’s via RSS! (Don’t say I told you!)

I’m not interested in tweets that are just links to your website (or anybody’s for that matter) when ever it gets updated THAT is what my RSS reader if for.
Twitter is for the *little* things or the breaking news *before* an article is written up about it…

Well, well, well. It appears that second life has come to the post. In looking at this last batch of comments I guess I’m seeing about what I thought. A lot of folks do see the RSS as being something that is just too convenient to be replaced by Twitter. Ok, I’ll buy that – for the time being. I bet there has been some food for thought though. I think it will be very interesting to see this same line of discussion in a year. What say you? Mark it on your calendars and we’ll have a look-see.

Thanks again for all of the thoughtful comments. You folks are some real pros, I’ll give you that.

Cheers
