I find that I'm using RSS feeds more for those sessions where I have time and can really "dig in" and dig through the huge volume of publications. Richard, totally agreed!

I think as Twitter becomes more useful and more efficient, it will naturally lead to using and interacting with other services less. I see this as a good thing though (provided that you pull value out of it), don't you? Valiable, I’m in agreement with you.

Now, of late, I notice that people are having full on conversations via Twitter (twhirl, etc) and it's as though we're going in a complete circle. It's interesting to wonder about where this is going :) I wouldn’t say it’s the new RSS, but what I have noticed is that it’s becoming an Internet Relay Chat system, such like mIRC which was a great deal popular several years ago.

I gave up on my news reader a few months ago, and now track most of my news through twitter or techmeme. I reckon I am saving myself a bit of time :).

This means less RSS feeds, less blogs, etc. As I comment via Twitter - I comment elsewhere less. If it is good at distributing content (as Twitter is), then it will push something else out.
