To me, the RSS reader gives me “objective” news from niche news sources which I have categorized very thoroughly. Being able to “read all” in each of the categories for a start, I have no problem getting “All items 1000+” as I prioritize the feeds based on the categorization I have set up. The only thing I miss here is the ability to nest folders of feeds into each other with sub-categories. Hopefully something Google will introduce.

I actually even use the RSS feed for some “monologue” Twitter accounts that are interesting, and follow them in Google Reader instead as they just clutter up my Twitter account. Frankly, I have found it easier to get around “filter failure” in Google Reader by categorizing feeds there than by categorizing Tweets. Particularly as most people I follow on Twitter do write about so many different topics using the same account and often write in English/local language with the same account too. Some of the information is very personal, some could be business related. It is simply not well filtered to begin with.

Well, guess we are all different, but if “Twitter only” really works for you and you can categorize it and filter through all the information you receive there in a good way, it must be great. I just can´t see how you can do that efficiently.

If you would have the time, a post on how you use Twitter would be interesting to me.
