To me, the first two waves are Twitter (an early warning of a story) and blogs/newspapers (containing the first writeups of a story). I agree that RSS isn’t cutting edge, and the material may be a few days old by the time I get it, but it still has value. Being able to look at a story a few days after it has broken gives yet another perspective.And, yes, I did catch this on your RSS feed.
