I have been thinking about this lately. Is Twitter replacing RSS? I mean, I seem to find my articles via Twitter, not my Google Reader.

Ok, here’s my line of thinking.  Twitter is the real-time communication tool of the moment.  The idea of RSS is that you don’t have to run to each site every 20 minutes to see if there’s something new.  Well, Twitter and FriendFeed and the rest all make that insanely easy.  You follow your favorite news sources, magazines, and blogs, and their new articles get sent to you in real time.

But there’s one problem.  If you follow more than 75 people on Twitter, then you don’t get every tweet you follow.  If you follow over 500, you pretty much only get like 5 minutes of history.  So what happens when you’re at work and you can’t check Twitter?  Well, you miss that great post.

Ok, so Twitter won’t be replacing RSS feeds and Google Reader quite yet.  But it could happen.

Do you find yourself neglecting GooReader for Twitter?  Do you think Twitter can replace feeds?
