Meanwhile RSS is some powerful shit (scripting.com)

Fair point and I'm definitely a proponent of RSS. It's how I read Hacker News.

However looking at this feed, it's easy to become overwhelmed. It looks like Dave was clever enough to limit the posts to (by my count) 3-10 every 15 minutes, but still, it's difficult to know which articles are worth reading on their massaged headlines alone.

The point of Twitter is that the links are curated by the people that you follow and there's a point of view behind them. I find this necessary for many topics I'm interested in because it can be hard to find the good content among all all of the fluff.


Not limiting them, we do a scan every 15 minutes, and include all the new stuff in the river.


Last night Twitter unveiled their Olympics site.

And if you haven't already seen it, you have no idea what Dave is writing about, since he doesn't link to it anywhere.
