I have yet to really get excited about using Twitter, but I frequently use RSS. Susan´s last blog post: Top Broadway Tickets for the Week site: [site]

Yea, I don’t really use Twitter at all myself, but I do still have a handful of select RSS feeds that I always check. The main thing for me is to just make sure they’re ones I really care about. Twitter, eh, not so much for me; just not my thing.

Hi Nyssa, thanks for stopping by. I agree with both points, I don’t actually expect ‘normal’ people to take up Twitter. But then again, they don’t really subscribe to RSS feeds much.

AT any rate, I suppose the population I was referring to in this post was primarily the online marketers and bloggers, who are more often than not pretty savvy when it comes to social media, including Twitter.

I have to agree to some extent, although as Arjen as pointed out, RSS will never be replaced, for those reasons mentioned. Normal people don't really use Twitter (although, I have managed to get a few "normal" people to join). However, I rarely use RSS feeds. I just find they build up too much, and I forget to check them, so I do somewhat rely on Twitter for new blog articles. Nyssa´s last blog post: Stuck in the UK & Anjunabeats Wallpapers site: [site]

Twitter is a great way to communicate with others on line. I think I have to use it more to get real advantage of it.

In my opinion RSS will not be replaced for syndicating blog content, just because most of the ‘normal’ people don’t know about Twitter, just like you say. As ‘normal’ people can be a big part of our regular readers, I think the Feedburner Feedcount will stay for a while.

Good blog!
