Can you track trending topics with RSS?
Can you carry on a conversation between content creators and subscribers over RSS?
Can you discover new content by following a RSS social graph?
RSS is better than Twitter in only one aspect and that's the one-to-many subscriber model. And that's the least interesting and least profitable thing that Twitter provides.

- skybrian 8y agoI think it's a fairly silly comparison overall, but it doesn't help when you judge by technical features rather than what kind of content the ecosystem encourages, which what actually matters. Twitter is extremely noisy. It tends to overwhelm actual articles that people put some effort into with shallow, witty zingers. If you're not looking for witty zingers, it doesn't really matter what other features it has. RSS is just a file format, but it enables a larger ecosystem that works better at showcasing good content.
