Apparently, TechCrunchIT declared RSS dead in favor of… Twitter? Really? How come they haven’t removed all of their RSS links and what’s with the 5000+ feedburner subscribers listed in the footer? Do they not matter any more. Content Robot has the level head:

Here are three reasons why we believe that RSS is not dead:

• Scanning through your subscribed content is infinitely more efficient than sifting through all the Twitter banter to find the gem or two of the day
• Newsreaders can display entire blog posts, images, audio, video, related links instead of the necessary, but cryptic “tiny” URL
• RSS allows you to go beyond the headlines, bash through the 140 character limitation, and get more insightful, in-depth information
