But it's not an ultimate solution to anything. I react badly to fanboy behaviour and Twitter has lots of that. Thanks, I tweak it all the time and more tweaks are coming so it's somewhat different form original Statement already. :) @Jeff

Twitter will never do such a thing. Its nice for small updates, but limits you to 140 characters. How can you convey your point in 140 characters???!?!?!?! :) Doubtful.

Guess not everyone wants it to be RSS feed. :) @Ben

Twitter is a social network as you mentioned and there's no way it can replace RSS...two very different things. I think it's easy for people to confuse twitter/RSS because you can post your blog updates on twitter so it might seem like a rss feed, but that's just wrong. Twitter still give me the extra kick in the butt to read some posts... ;) Yeah, no chances for twitter to replace RSS.

Versatility doesn't mean single tool capable of everything, it means plenty of tools to choose from. @Lyndi

I cannot even see how the two can be compared, let alone the one replacing the other. I would rate the chances of Twitter replacing RSS a bit lower than you just have.
