How many social networking website you check everyday ?

At least 4 if you count forums.
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
For me three I suppose Twitter, FF, and facebook ..
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
same here, but i dont use twitter much.
- Mike Nencetti
I think FF provide me live discussion and Facebook enables to connect with friends
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
And Twitter for random BLAHs :)
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
At one point I was up to 9 currently down to 2-3.
- Jimminy
Too much social networking can be too much time consuming and hard to track. I usually hang around FF and all my comment are tweeted to twitter
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
FB, FF & Twitter.
- Mellissa Claus
So at the moment only FB, FF and twitter is on lead ....Anyone ?
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
Oh so you wanted actual names of sites, well FF, Stumbleupon, Twitter, Digg, Myspace(yes it's on here), FB, and Reddit
- Jimminy
6
- Glen Mistletoe
@jimminy they are more then 2-3 :P .
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
You know what guys, There are many services pops up everyday but after few days they are just yet another service. Most of us just try the service when they release and then they are abandoned. For example sceenr.com, if you look at the alexa map of its traffic its just horrible and will prove what trying to say. (My Point of view)
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
Well I use 2-3 of them a day, FF and Twitter the others go around and around, somedays I visit 5 of them, but normally it's just 2-3.
- Jimminy
FF. I use it as main aggregator so all other social platforms [Digg, Twitter, ...] end up here
- lelapin
lelapi : where you do actually communicate (Jus curious)
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
FB, Twitter, FF, Livejournal and some forums
- Dimitar Vesselinov
Well now Twitter is more than random Blahs to me. Boy it got substance.

- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
I do, but I consider it inferior to Friendfeed. Actually, I mainly send FF to Twitter. Then I use http://twitterGadget.com in Gmail to read Twitter
- Petr Buben
WOW, I also send FF to twitter too but yeah I have twitter client open as well :)
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
I never post directly on Twitter ... now. do you use http://twitterfeed.com? ... http://newsrecord.wordpress.com
- Petr Buben
But, lnorder to create meetups (tweetups). I have to use twitter and other resources as well
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
I used to use twitterfeed but not any more coz most of my followers said I looked like a bot to them without much interaction
- Sunny (The Geek Lord)
hm. im not familiar with that/meetups/. Id be more on Facebook, after FF, than Twitter ...
- Petr Buben
I check mainly Twitter and FF.

Смятате ли за нормално БТВ да излъчва всяко денонощие близо 12 часа турски сериали? http://btv.bg/programa/
дали ще са турски или бразилски... въпросът би трябвало да е "Нормално ли е програмата им да е САМО със сериали?"
- Dimitar Tsonev
Най-малко 50 на сто от общото годишно програмно време трябва да бъде предназначено за европейски произведения, съгласно ЗРТ.

Thanks for that impressive list; are they all bloggers or systematically available on the web? I only recognize about 10 of them. Kurzweill, by the way, is brilliant but too deeply in love with himself to be useful any longer on anything but hardware. I'll sift through the rest, however, I do enjoy your fascinating flow of their ideas.
- Douglas Hopkins
Douglas -- most of their best stuff is captured in books via Amazon. Some of them are bloggers. Obviously I don't agree with all of them on everything, but they all have a gift for provoking interesting conversations on important issues.
- Sean McBride
When I started reading #1 and saw the name Aaron my heart leaped for a moment.
- Aaron deMello
Aaron -- I wish you would post more.
- Sean McBride
Aaron, such a compliment you receive from Sean McBride. If I may: "leapt" not leaped.
- Douglas Hopkins
You know what's funny Doug - I wrote "leapt" first but it looked wrong, so I "corrected" it. My strict British education and grammar is failing me! Sean - I need to post more too. Just a bit concerned given what I do for a living to post my actual thoughts on these subjects. Such is the paradox of being social on the web.
- Aaron deMello
Interesting class of words: English irregular past tenses ending in ''t'': burnt, dreamt, knelt , leapt, learnt, spelt, spilt and spoilt.
- Sean McBride
Many of the people who know most about some of the subjects being discussed on the net are forbidden by the laws of their respective countries from sharing what they know.
- Sean McBride
Absolutely. Not only by the law, but also by confidentiality agreements, and of course security classifications. I'd love for chief architect of China's Golden Shield to blog about it, but that's not going to happen.
- Aaron deMello
I once had a big argument with my children. I used learnt and they thought I was wrong and it was learned. Both are right. Sean, I saw your tweet and came here. I am glad I did.

No. I stopped using it a long time ago when I switched to FeedDemon, then I stopped using that too (keeping up with 200+ feeds was just too much). Now, I use Gmail's Web Clips with 14 feeds (including the feed for popular bookmarks on Delicious). If the item is new and the title is interesting enough, I click. Still, I keep saying to myself: "I should go back to FeedDemon someday."

Duh.
- Louis Gray
Yes a lot
- M F
yes sure, most of the time via feedly though
- Naor Mark
Yes..it's the only RSS reader I use.
- Bill Johnson
yup, Tried a few others but always went back to Greader, now using Feedly to read my feeds with.
- Tony C.
No, never.
- Ton Zijp
@Louis Gray you say 'Duh' but Scoble doesn't believe so
- Zee.
@Zee It's Scoble. Go figure.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Yes, I do. Not regularly though.
- Katie: Whelmed Overly
Yes, usually daily.
- 321
Occasionally
- Lu Liu
Yes. It's one of the few things I can access from work so sometimes it's my only contact with the outside world.
- Michael Hocter
I use it quite often. Have a widget on my iGoogle home page and still really like the iPhone interface.
- David Imielski
Yes, I read from several different computers. GReader is great.

Daily. I love it.
- Andrew
yup
- vijay
I use it on a daily basis. It is my primary means of keeping up with all the latest news.
- Bob Blunk
I setup google reader with a few local news links, so if I share something it's sent to friendfeed and then twitter. dont use it alot, forget to. I have FF, I let other people find interesting links for me to read.
- Mike Nencetti
Yep. No other readers sync with the iPhone as well. Sure, there's NetNewsWire, but I don't like it.

- Sid Burgess
Yup from me. Love GR.
- Roger Benningfield
now where's Scoble at? I wanna gloat... :P
- Zee.
Most people say RSS is dead because Twitter takes over by being real time. The issue with that is that we ourselves cannot be available real time, all the time. RSS helps you cache that information to make it available when you cannot be in the stream.
- Bhavishya Kanjhan
well said Bhavishya
- Zee.
I use it, but don't socialize with it
- xero
Zee: gloat? With a few dozen comments? Come on, please do be real. I have 89,000 followers on Twitter, 5,000 on facebook, 38,000 on friendfeed. When you get close to those numbers let me know. Then I'll let you gloat.
- Robert Scoble
@Scoble How do you mean "what I get close to those numbers?" - can you clarify
- Zee.
Use it, but not as a social tool.
- invariant - farewell FF
Robert: I don't think he wants to gloat about his numbers. It's about the fact that a lot of people still do use Google Reader or other RSS Readers; they just don't socialise with it as much as they do with Twitter or FF.
- Bhavishya Kanjhan
Yes, but I feel I'm wasting to much time with it. Browsing entire RSS feeds is not really targeted and Google Reader doesn't filter.
- Oliver Bouchard
I use it for my feedreading, but not socially.
- Scott Bulloch
Yes I do, keep it opened in a firefox tab almost all day.
- Vineet Bhatnagar
from Nambu
I'm still waiting to hear what Scoble's crap about "89,000 followers on Twitter, 5000 on facebook and 38,000 on Friendfeed" was about.
- Zee.
Yes I do!
- Victor Ryden
@Zee Don't hold your breath.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Nope
- RAPatton
naa, he'll respond - at least i hope so. Because I'm really hoping i'm wrong about what i think he was implying there.
- Zee.
yes I do = but I am quickly finding FriendFeed and Twitter replacing some of the feeds I used to subscribe to.
- Tony
Yes! I use Google Reader constantly, in my web browser and on my iPhone. I have RSS feeds set up for my common Twitter searches, too. I also use Yahoo Pipes that I've developed over time to have very targeted RSS feeds. But I don't socialize via Reader.
- Kurt Rosenkranz
Yes, I still use Google Reader, voraciously. It has NOTHING to do with comments/followers. Rather, GReader is a tool for being better informed. Sometimes I use my GReader learnings in the real world - in conversation - where we don't formally have followers and such.
- Mike Reynolds
R.Scoble: What do follower numbers have to say in this matter, or at all ? I thought you had a statement about quantity vs quality some time ago as well ?
- Thomas Bøhm
I use NewsFire, and occasionally Resc Newws! on my PalmOS phone. I guess I haven't joined the "everything's in the cloud" revolution yet.
- Joshua Lee
<whisper> I've never used it. </whisper>
- Derrick
Thomas: follower users tell you how many people use a service and map pretty closely how many people are using a service, if you can see them in aggregate.
- Robert Scoble
Zee: it's not what 80+ people on friendfeed say. It's how many people ACTUALLY use these services. Google Reader just doesn't have the numbers. My follower numbers are a very accurate indicator of that.
- Robert Scoble
R. Scoble: people follow more people on Twitter than on Facebook because Facebook means you share a lot of information, so I'm not sure if those numbers mean much in the way of that.
- Joshua Lee
@Scoble But how do you know how many people use Google Reader?
- Zee.
I don't use google reader, and I use twitter, facebook, and a bit of friendfeed. ;-)
- Joshua Lee
But Robert, I use GReader EVERY DAY, but I'm not really socially connected with anyone on it. GReader's main function can be used without any social integration at all - so how many people follow you or vice versa isn't really relevant. Even leaving aside the issue of whether number of followers is relevant at all - it certainly isn't relevant when the core function of a service isn't connecting with other people, but consuming content.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Yes: it is a convenient tracking system and I like the email alerts
- Anita Hunt
I use google alerts without GReader
- Joshua Lee
GReader != social
- Mike Reynolds
Yes. It's an essential daily tool for must-read feeds, as well as for discovery. Social media does not give me the same content as my must-read feeds.
- LogEx
Sometimes feeds generate data for social media.... I share a lot of links via email and occasionally facebook or twitter.
- Joshua Lee
No. Currently it does not cater for my feed reader needs.
- Vidar Andersen
I used to use a similar online newsreader, bloglines I think it is called, but after a while I found having to check a website unweildy - the whole point to RSS is to not have to play with your browser to read information.
- Joshua Lee
If you want to follow blogs directly on their site, at least for Blogger, you pretty much have to do use Google Reader. I know I've had that feedback from my followers.
- Fossil Huntress
Yeah, blogger is a bit of a closed ecosystem. Very ungooglelike.
- Joshua Lee
/me uses his best Ronald Reagan impression "Mr. Brin - tear down this wall"
- Joshua Lee
every day for real work needs. for all the rest, FF, Twitter and Facebook
- Giovanni De Stefano
Yes. Daily. But I overlay it with Feedly - www.feedly.com - which makes it rather prettier.
- Stephen Collins
Much ado about nothing.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Clearly Scoble doesn't really want to get too involved with this discussion. Which is disappointing considering he was the motivation for the post in the first place.
- Zee.
Google will eventually add real-time and social networking stuff to Google Reader, and especially with algorithms to suggest the best posts to read, then all will use that most
- Charbax
I use it. But I don't share anything with it. I just use it to keep on top of a few news sites and forums.
- Jan Ole Peek
no, but I'm ashamed to admit it. I used to use bloglines.
- Laura Norvig
I live in Google Reader. It's my life line for discovery, digestion and distribution.
- Mike Fruchter
Yes.
- Deborah Fitchett
I do. I could live without FF, Twitter et al but Google Reader is a time/life saver.
- Murray Barton
Not much anymore. I push most of my rss feeds through FF. That way I still get RSS goodness without constantly fighting an unread count.
- Tech Introvert
Yup.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Yes
- Shevonne
Sometimes.
- Jon, the Beartato of FF
I do.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I do w/feedly
- Dave Martin
I do when I'm bored. It's more a bookmarking spot for me than anything.
- Mitch
Yes, I use google reader and RSS is not going anywhere
- Wayne Sutton
yes, daily
- Brian
well clearly according to Scoble, all of you guys saying that you use it are not part of the majority...and Google Reader is actually a very quiet place
- Zee.
Went from Google Reader to NetNewsWire simply because of the syncing ability between the Mac client and the iPhone app.
- Mike Bracco
Yes - constantly
- Threepwood
Zee: sorry, I had to drive Patrick home. There are a variety of ways to see how popular Google Reader is. Look at Quantcast. Alexa. Compete. Compare referee logs with others, etc. I have kept on top of the usage numbers and Google Reader isn't keeping up with growth in other agregator types like Facebook and friendfeed andthe people I compare numbers with see a lot more traffic from...
more...
- Robert Scoble
Yes, I love it.
- Kate
Absolutely! Key tool 4 R&D.
- Jan Friman
from Nambu
@Scoble thanks for the clearer and less agro response. I'm really going to dig in and do some research into it because although I definitely believe that Facebook & Co. are growing much faster...as a news source/tool - i still believe it's number 1 and has huge potential for further growth
- Zee.
i do and love its integration into everything
- Zach Scott
I use it a lot. Get and collect most of my "news" there.
- kilbuda
Yes. Ugly as it is.
- Robin Barooah
from Nambu
@Robin check this out http://thenextweb.com/2009...
- Zee.
Sure. Save the good stuff with Read It Later & Evernote.
- David Hayes
Yes.
- David Cook
Yes - just to read
- J.D. Deutschendorf
Yes. I've been using it less because of FriendFeed and Reader's content/ attention data lock-in. If Reader: 1) allowed us access to our attention stats, labels etc. through interactive UI or flat file export (Diigo), I'd use it more. 2) added a simple WYSIWYG editor to the comments feature to improve it as a blogging platform, I'd use it more. 3) allowed for Gtalk chat's around articles with chats that could be appended to the articles (think Gmail with appended Gtalk chats), that would be useful as well.
- Jack Frizzell

extended firefox with feedly this evening -- thank you all for that recommendation, gReader looks so much better, especially where the folders can be customized with different views: magazine stylesheet enhances the readability of content. [I'm looking into the exposure of private feeds when feedly services are used. Comments? It was surprising how they got to my subscriptions without my password.]
- Adriano
Adriano: Feedly is well done, isn't it? It's the only thing these days keeping me from abandoning FF completely for Chrome.
- Christopher A Carr
[off-topic @cacarr : ditto, cf. extensions like Zotero, It's All Text (w/ vim ;-), or even Read It Later]
- Adriano
Yeap feeds and alerts all in there.
- Jonathan Kong
Yes I do, and I'm also pretty impressed with feedly/firefox, but I use that in addition to slogging through my greader feeds. I'm in the process of re-organizing my feeds so I can "mark all as read" without concern I'm missing something I need to see. "a1_events a2_casts b1_techblogs x9_other" etc.
- Richard ¿digame? Walker

- Alistair (alpinefolk)

- Roshan Ramachandran

- Roshan Ramachandran
I do use Google Reader but just to read news feeds not sharing or whatever. The number of updates is getting a bit unmanageable now and I end up bulk-marking a lot as read, but it's good to skim through the headlines or less active feeds.
- By_tor
Yes, but must admit my usage of it has dropped off a cliff since I started using Twitter more (mainly because it was easier to digest content on a mobile), but think the noise ratio is greater on Twitter, so may go back to Reader when I get the next iPhone.
- Paul M Evans
I experience the entire internet through google reader - even twitter and friendfeed are read in google reader.

Bloglines seems to be less reliable than Google Reader, but I stick with it because it's much easier to use. Complete navigation with single key strokes. Google Reader forces me to use the mouse. Too fussy. I'd prefer a desktop client, but haven't found one that is as good as Bloglines (on Linux).

There are certain desktop apps which are better then Google Reader but whats great about it is its online repository which works for every device i use to access it. Though i clearly think there is a hell lot of improvement needed. In its current avatar it can be pretty unmanagable specially if you read a lot and you can't be online 24*7.

for me Twitter supplements my RSS consumption but doesn't replace any of it. Twitter is more about discovery of things I wouldn't normally know about via RSS.

- Richard Zeidel
I will never ditch RSS. It is too easy and great. I don't check as often as Twitter, but I can save posts and refer back to them when I need to. I can also easily find blogs there, rather than my bookmarks, which is flooded. Twitter is GREAT, but who knows if it will last? MySpace was great once, too. RSS is more stable than a social network, and easier to sort (no hashtags required).
- Angela Wilson
I wouldn't. For the Twitter and RSS have different uses. And I wouldn't spam the people that follow me at twitter with links to posts.

- Kevin Pruett
I think Kevin just summed it up nicely. I'll just add: The number of websites who provide real-time updates to Twitter is minuscule. When that changes, then we'll talk about swapping RSS for Twitter.
- Alexander Grundner
Nope, absolutely not. Twitter serves its purpose as microblogging and link sharing but RSS still has a purpose for me. Not everything I read is shared through Twitter (actually, I should hope not!). If I got all my news through Twitter, it would be more of an echo-chamber than it already is. Further more, I work in marketing. I use RSS to keep up with client industry news and to aggregate information. Twitter cannot do this for me.

OK, so this post brought out mostly RSS lovers (which I remain). Yet why is it that some are now railing against RSS? Here's another thought RSS = a standard. We have no standards for status updates and thus Twitter and Facebook are in the driver's seat. RSS is final and stable.
- Steve Rubel
Nope. I see different uses in the different services. I like the organization of a reader. and I like your comment about the standards and stability and lack thereof on Twitter and FB. Also, I like to pick my news sources and trust that I am getting something accurate. SkyGrid is a nice combination of real fast / real time and reliable.

That question is ridiculous. RSS is far easier to manage and customize and can deliver a lot more information. Watching the interests of your social graph on Twitter is great, but far more and higher quality information can be consumed, (re)organized, and aggregated with a good RSS reader.
- David Chartier
Still like both. With Twitter I feel like I keep up with individuals better, and catch new stuff earlier than I might anywhere else. Reader still gives me a ton of good reading from all the places I like best though ...
- Patrick Jordan
I still use RSS but more for reference. I get the link to the post in Twitter and then go look at the feed
- Janet Fouts
I'm still a fan of Netvibes, and I have not ditched RSS for Twitter, I've made some RSS out of Twitter searches, does that count?
- Albert Maruggi
FriendFeed replaced RSS for me a while ago.
- Thomas Hawk
Ditch RSS for Twitter? Never. RSS is the fuel for the real time web - they're complimentary products. http://bit.ly/10dkr8

I will most likely not ditch ditch rss for twitter, both are good and valuable, but rss is useful since one can't always read it
- Justin Yost
Ditched RSS for FriendFeed ;)

I really never understand why you should give up RSS for Twitter. Why? Could someone please explain this über productive idea?

<sigh> I dunno. I see twitter as a subplot of FF and FF is also a subplot. Even slashdot used to be cool.

Ditching RSS for Twitter will work as the idea that people wouldn't look at paintings once photos came out
- shelisrael1
I think there is some confusion here. Are we talking about giving up on the technology that is called RSS, or are we simply talking about switching the platform on which we consume these ie. ditching google reader for friendfeed or twitter. Friendfeed lives on RSS feeds, the links you get on twitter most probably come straight out of someone's rss reader. The question is, if we ditch...

I discover more of value through friendfeed than twitter, really. But once I determine the long term value of a site it goes into my google reader, if it's Really important (i.e. top 10) it goes in my operamini feeds on my phone.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The talk of Twitter replacing RSS feeds is misguided. You'll have to rip Google Reader out of my cold dead hands. Twitter (and Friendfeed) are useful, bur provide less value to me than mr Greader feeds.
- ron k jeffries
I agree @ron
- Justin Yost
it is like dithing your car for fishing: they are not the same. More precisely, Rss gives you focuses attention on the sources of information. Twitter gives you second hand check-it-outs that are possibly not so focused or accurate, but *seem* more urgent because they are in real time.
- Michele Costabile
I use RSS, don't like twitter, and seems no reason.

How many of you have ditched bathing for Twitter - and if so why?
- Dave Winer
I ditched porn for Twitter since, you know, it makes so much sense to do so.
- Scott Jarkoff
I use both RSS and Twitter. I use Twitter more frequently though.
- Donelle
RSS is quite useful, both serve their own purpose
- Erik Magraken
this is BS, twitter can't and won't replace RSS, neither will friendfeed for that matter

Twitter gives me a portal to the author but won't replace RSS

I increasingly use Twitter Search rather than Google Search or RSS to find cleantech news to blog about.
- Bob Morris (polizeros)
Nopes, Twitter has a long way to go before it replaces RSS. My days begins by reading 500 feeds, imagine how many tweets would I have to go through to get all those news!
- Rajtilak Bhattacharjee
For ordinary web users who are only interested in a handful of feeds, maybe 10 or 20 then twitter beats a feed reader hands down. Much simpler to use, easy to understand and real time. Plus twitter has the social media/communication features. However power users that are tracking 100 or more feeds need a reader for their research. The google reader / feedly combination is hard to beat for these people.

Google reader is evil and must be destroyed. Who has time to sift through 400 unread posts per day?

How can Twitter replace a few decent RSS feeds? Not understanding the Twitter love...
- George Gray
I don't understand, RSS and Twitter are two different services. Have I missed something? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I spend time on Twitter where I would have otherwise been in Google Reader. It's easier to follow trending topics on Twitter.
- Peter Warnock
did a blog post a while back called 'my network is my search engine' but truth is, probably meant my 'network is one of my rss feeds' - not an either or proposition for me
- leigh himel
Many RSS feeds push their content thru Twitter, which makes Twitter a real-time RSS reader (that doesn't act like a horrific email inbox, ahem Google Reader). FF is an even better implementation of this, if only more sites pushed their feeds thru FF.
- Tech Introvert
No, they're two different use cases for me. Twitter is real time conversation. RSS is non-real time information.
- Ian Betteridge
What Ian said. IMHO, their strengths are so different it would be silly not to use both.
- Karen Mohler
If anything, Twitter points me towards more stuff to add to my RSS!
- Amie Gillingham
Yeah, what Ian said. I'd just get lost in the info if I got all RSS via Twitter.

I am using RSS in FriendFeed. What I have ditched is Google Reader. RSS is underlying technology, not an application. We'll keep using that underlyng technology for a long time. We may ditch the readers, but not the RSS itself.
- Bora Zivkovic
I haven't ditched sourcing news via RSS for Twitter, but I have subscribed to more news via Twitter and find myself getting it more frequently on twitter.
- tekhelet
This isn't the right kind of debate. It's distracting from the fact that both are useful.
- William Mougayar
nope, not going to happen. A) twitter doesn't have all the blogs I read B)there's no good aggregation of blog notices - I can't come back 2 days later & find older content.
- clarke thomas
For Twitter? No, maybe for Friendfeed in some time.
- Diego Espinoza V.
Because I got the gist of the post and a quick link in the same stream. No more reader for over 12 months

i ditched twitter
- Marcus Brown
Traditional RSS readers are even more boring than Facebook. Stopped using them a long time ago. I do consume RSS feeds still in FriendFeed but though a socially filtered lifestyle.
- Thomas Hawk
I have pretty much ditched RSS for FriendFeed. I use Twitter also.
- Bill Romanos
for must part..BUT subscribing via RSS to derivations from Twitter can be useful, for example, I subscribe via RSS to http://www.whatthetrend.com/ . It gives me the day's trends PLUS explanations as to why which is key. Extremely useful to go through just in case I missed something during the day.
- Mike Bracco
your followings are your feed source - Human Syndication. spending most of your time on Twitter, you dont have time to switch to RSS. Also, with RSS feeds coming from media companies, news may not break as quickly with human syndication which Twitter provides. With RSS feeds coming from Blogs, the news will have broken out on Twitter prior to that blogger's RSS feed hitting you somehow...

No. RSS still has a place on my computer (or at least in my web browser). I prefer it for it's easy-to-read aspect and it's speed (Google Reader is awesome). Twitter is for discovery, as is friendfeed.
- Amy H.
RSS bankrupcy. Hundreds of blogs unread. By reading Twitter only on the web and not on the phone, and using Twitter search, I get what I get. The rest finds its way, so I don't have to pile up enormous wads of reading in my Google reader. RSS is still absolutely vital, however, for those who block you on Twitter. You search their name, RSS the search results, read them on Google. My new Google read attention space is the ppl like @ajkeen who have blocked me on Twitter.
- Prokofy Neva
I subscribe to Twitter hash-tag and keyword searches via RSS and read them in Google Reader. I see the them as complimentary.
- Mike Boudreaux
I usually have Google Reader/feedly & TweetDeck open at the same time.
- Jason R. Hunter
Hundreds of RSS feeds and no time to consume; Twitter better fits my lifestyle. Plus, the community that surrounds me shares very similar interests, so I can count on useful info from them.
- Paul Chaney
"Having RSS feed" =/= "using Twitter", so I read the RSS of a lot of sites every day via NetNewsWire.
- Rick Cogley
I use RSS to read Twitter (meaning) I can follow some people on Twitter via Google RSS reader (without really following them). Does that make sense?
