Twitter was designed for a process of acquiring information, results (the information itself) are irrelevant. RSS was designed for results, the process of acquiring them is irrelevant.
In other words - in Twitter what matters is When and How, not What. In RSS it is the opposite - What matters, not When or How.
RSS will be just like now for years. Twitter will be indefinitely more popular all that time until any moment in the future more trendy network will emerge all every one will leave the ship in months. And probably no one will compete with RSS. It is like a Unix tool - no point in touching it, if it works.
