Right now, it's just blogs, digg, news, and twitter, but we have a slew of services that are in testing right now that we hope to launch in the next few weeks.
Aside from that, I'd say that there are a few benefits over RSS:
1. It's faster to setup and start tracking something, as all you have to do is send us a tweet. This might work especially well for stuff you just want to track for a couple days, when setting up a bunch of search feeds is overkill.
2. A lot of people still don't use RSS, but use Twitter.
3. I tend to only check my RSS once a day or even every other day, while I'm likely to be on Twitter all day, so I'll see stuff more quickly than I will with RSS.
This is just off the top of my head...as I said, this is an experiment for us, so all feedback is useful :)
