But RSS doesn’t replace Twitter.
As much as the Twitterati May argue they need to be on Twitter to be informed, the reality is that the need Twitter fills is the need to broadcast your own views all over the world.
A blog post, which requires a lot more effort, since it’s expected to be a little more substantial, may get 0 views, while a silly comment in response to a controversial topic on Twitter could easily get a few hundred likes, which makes people feel important.
And RSS does not replace that aspect of Twitter.
- mark_l_watson 8y agoYup, I agree with you for some twitter accounts. I find myself often pruning who I follow on Twitter so much so that I then find I am mostly getting tech announcements of papers and conferences, release announcements, etc. Periodically, I start following more people, then the pruning cycle repeats. I feel sometimes that I spend too much time on twitter and HN, and so I go on cycles for time spent per week there also. Really good to use a monitoring tool to let you know cumulatively how much time you spend a week on different media.
