I'm just saying that I see alot of emphasis placed on twitter being a protocol used for notification, but given its limitations. it doesn't seem a useful replacement for RSS to me. Of course Twitter can be a useful tool when used for actual communication, but RSS appears to be a better protocol for notification purposes, that still has the capability to change, if it ever does become the horse and buggy.
My only problem with Twitter is when it ISN'T used for pointless babble, because when it isn't "babbling", it winds up getting used as a replacement for RSS, but RSS doesn't need replacing, that's why we have it.
