Twitter takes a step closer to RSS

Hmmm - Twitter links more worthwhile than your RSS links -That doesn't mean Twitter is better (or more worthwhile) than RSS, just means you're selections have been better on Twitter and you haven't been as selective/meticulous with your RSS feeds as you claim.

Removing the 140 character limit, so I could actually read an entire story would help.

If comment entries could be linked to one's Twitter acct., I have a feeling something could open up..

I'm using TweetNewz to access my friends timelines via google reader. I quite like the result.

Twitter is so yesterday...so is facebook. Worthless utils

Twitter is also replacing my RSS feeds.

Today, one of the most common ways people use Twitter is as a social information filter and link distributor.

On the business side, look at TechCrunch: One of the ways TC uses Twitter is to Tweet out links to their stories, which then spread virally as followers retweet those links.

Over the past few months the percentage of traffic coming from Twitter has grown to the point that it is now their second largest source after Google. TechCrunch is not typical of most Websites, but this shows the potential of Twitter to generate traffic.

I think Twitter should let us to categorize our followers like the way we do in messenger. So we can follow his/her tweets by Friends, Family, Politics, etc. and any other group we think is relevant to us.

while social media (T, Identica, FF) is great for getting that news out there IMHO it doesn't work for all news. There is just to much info streaming past on Twitter et al for me to see even 1/4 of it. With Greader I can at least sort it, and parse through it at my pace and not have to go back through multiple social networks to find what I need. Plus there are some folks who cover a topic that I am interested in only vaguely but the rest of the time they provide irrelevant news for me.

Like I said, it's a personal thing.

I'd love if Google Reader would integrate with my twitter account.

Just like how they recently added the ability to "like" and "share" posts in feeds that you subscribe to, it would be awesome if my reader would tell me who (among my twitter friends) has linked to any of the posts in the feeds that I subscribe to. That would be a HUGE help in sifting through all the junk to find the good posts.

As an avid Twitter user, I manage not only my accounts but several accounts for clients as well. I'm not sure how having it RSS'd would help me. I would be afraid it would be far too overwhelming.

I'm always on the lookout for ways to use Twitter more efficiently. I think tools like Seesmic and Tweetlater make more sense.
