Looks cool but why does it have to use twitter? Why can't I just get an RSS feed, or emails?

- zzzmarcus 18y agoI was thinking about that too. It seems that in some ways, Twitter has already become what RSS has been trying to become for years. It's much easier for people to understand "following someone on twitter" than it is for them to understand "subscribing to an RSS feed in an aggregator." Obviously there are some pretty big differences in the purpose and functionality of the two technologies, but maybe there's something to learn regarding the terminology used to describe RSS.
- duncan 18y agoWhere the data comes from (Outside.in) - the Radar part of their site already sends e-mail so we didn't do the e-mail part. You should be able to get an RSS feed there too
