It's hard to argue that the relevance of RSS hasn't diminished somewhat over the years, but with the rise of social networking and just the sheer amount of information on the web, that could be said for a lot of things. As far as mostly being replaced by Twitter, that's just not the case for me. Maybe there's a Twitter client and service out there I'm not aware of, but I haven't found anything that's as easy to setup and use to get updates on the pages I want to follow as RSS and Google Reader in particular. If I have to rely on Twitter, I'll be spending a lot more time to get at much less relevant information.

everything accessible to the blind going away? Really?

    Talk about a major bummer.

    Can anyone recommend accessible alternatives to Reader? Something
    that would work with apps for i-devices too? I’m currently using
    Feedller on boht my iPad and iPhone. I’ve got over two hundred and
    fifty subscriptions and even though I use my pc a lot, I’ve gotte to
    the point where I reach for my phone or iPad to sift through the
    various rss entries as much as I do through the computer. This is
    really going to suck.
