It's hard to say if one is better than the other - they're just too different. I like Twitter because it's not a big process to blurt out a thought and get feedback (I'm not a writer) - but I really like the content richness that can be put in a blog post. I can really appreciate the "firehose" comment though. funny – I found this post in my google reader but then saw you on twitter and started following you there.

Wonder if any other English-speaking accounting bodies have plans to release something similar? Well done to JICPA for at least being a bit forward thinking on the communication front. On the Twitter vs RSS matter, can't say I agree since personally I find RSS a lot easier to track, filter and go through easily, whereas I find the volume of information on Twitter flows too fast to easily pick up on specific ones of interest. This article of yours for instance - found it via RSS rather than Twitter. But perhaps its just me :) Interesting find, Derek.
