Lately I’ve become attached to my twitter account, as I hit my 100 follower!
Even facebook has become second in this list, as all my news has been transfered dynamically to my facebook through friendfeed app.

I’ve went into debate once about how much twitter is better than RSS feeds, as I used to be once attached to my RSS feeds through google reader myself.

The reasons that twitter is better than RSS in my opinion are:

1. twitter is more human!

   Yes you heard it right, you can actually feel it, RSS feeds are more like mails, it have subject, body and a sender, so solid and so boring, but twitter is more humanized, it shows you a title, maybe a link, a personal opinion and you can actually communicate with your twitter friend, while you cant with your RSS feed item!

2. a stream that you love

   In twitter I actually see all my news in a one stream, it makes it easy to know the latest news in the last days, without having to go to BBC RSS feed to know the latest news, and if I need any categorization I put them into a list of related interest or topic, and ofcourse if I need to know a news about certain somebody I can just click on his twitter account.
   I know many people will argue with me, as google reader have this feature as well, but believe me its different, even placing an icon -avatar- is more human readable than just a name of the RSS feed source!

3. it’s easier to follow, than adding new RSS feed to the list!

   Call me lazy, but with one click I get the streams I like from the person, and I don’t have to go to only the latest ten news, but I have access to all of his stories as well!

I can add some more reasons in the future, but right now I think you already realized the benefits.

And for those who don’t have a twitter account, go for it now you are wasting so much time already finding the news you like to read, while it can get right into your stream a few clicks ahead!
