When I discover someone saying "Twitter is a replacement for RSS" what I actually hear is "I'm a bleeding-edge-fanboy who can't be bothered with thinking about actual use-cases".

There are some good ideas behind Twitter, but the actual implementation they've chosen is only really good for stream-of-consciousness content. That will never be a replacement for RSS.
