I really don't see a point to RSS. I use it to subscribe to a particular forums category, but that's it. If I want to get a persons blog post, I add them to my 'Tracking' list on twitter. Most people don't write consistently good stuff. And I dislike seeing "50 unread items" in my google reader - it seems as if I am obliged to read them, when most will be bad. Any really good post is either going to show up on hacker news, on reddit, on delicious.com/popular or on my twitter tracking list. If it does not show up there, then I probably don't need to read it. Twitter pre-filters my posts, RSS does not. That's why I use rss.
