Ian Rosenwach has a brief post RSS’s potential in which he points out how building a few social features around RSS technology could propel it into a huge micro-content social network.
I don’t know if the RSS brand will ever get much larger than it is in among the tech community, but I do think as a feature it will be one of the largest components of communications and social relations. Twitter is catchy. RSS isn’t.
Twitter is really simple syndication – way simpler than RSS. A tweet is both the feed’s title and subject. It’s two-way headline news.
If developers can derive inspiration from the social features of the two-way Web and fold the ingredients into RSS, RSS may at last achieve the public awareness it deserves – regardless of whatever its called. Maybe Twitter is what most people will call it.
Twitter enables us to dip into global brain pool (both bright and dim). If we could get deeper into the pool in a quick, consolidated and easy way with the rest of the dynamic Web then we could see a whole new kind of web evolve: a vast active living intelligence system.

Good post. Interesting. Perhaps @davewiner has some thoughts on this. I still use RSS daily via Google Reader, but I am always looking for ways to be more affective at using and always looking for good innovation in RSS.
RSS is reliable, and even though it may be “slow”, we are seeing movements
to make it real-time, like
rssCloud<http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/07/14/rebootingTheRssCloud.html>.
RSS is just one of those things that doesn't make sense to most people.
Twitter is like that too when people first check it out. But one thing is
for sure: people understand real-time. I just wish more developers
understood how to express the practical value of their brain-children to the
average bear.
