For a while now I've pondered the similarity between Twitter and RSS. Was there any effort at all into making a shorter version of RSS that uses a central naming authority? What are the technical limitations to replicating the usefulness of Twitter with a standard like RSS?

The thing is that twitter is a product, where rss is a technology. Replicating it means replicating twitter. Note that in the beginning, twitter even provided rss feeds for public data.
