Twitter Wins Over RSS?

Does Twitter win over RSS for most people who want to follow blogs and friends? I think so.

See a few thoughts (in reverse chronological order) below.

I think Kevin, M.D. was right about Twitter being easier to adopt than RSS for the non-tech crowd. Note: there is nothing wrong with "crowd" -- Wikipedia is based on the "wisdom of crowds."
