For me, Twitter is neither a useful communications channel, nor a social network, nor an information discovery method. I find it aggressively useless -- picking signal out of the 140 character noise is net energy negative -- whereas I find enormous amounts of great information via Reader.
A world with Twitter and without a decent RSS aggregator is a poorer one.
