Both Twitter and RSS have the advantage of letting you decide on your sources, so you have some options for lowering redundancy that don't occur in (more) centralized aggregation like HN or Reddit. I only got into Twitter relatively recently and find it a better option than RSS, overall. Blogs are weighted down by the expectation of being their own content; tweets are mostly about linking or short updates, and following someone with good links can be a really great experience.
