You could say twitter is a friend-curated RSS feed that actually kind of works.

Twitter isn't a "thing" any more than the telephone network is a "thing", it's a communication medium, and thus has a kajillion different forms.

A tool more frequently only used by professionals. I can't recall a single friend or family member using or even talking about RSS. How about you guys?

I was going to say that it's the pipes of the applications they use, but now I'm thinking I might be wrong. We've stupidly moved to an internet of proprietary APIs.
