Twitter may be worse for developers (more&#x27;s the pity, I was at Chirp in 2010), but it&#x27;s a vastly better platform in terms of content discovery, curation and consumption. I fail to see how any amount of cohesion from the RSS community could have overcome that, even in a world of simple, ubiquitous pub-sub, or whatever ideal one might imagine for syndication technology. I&#x27;d be really happy to hear how that battle could have been won, though.
