Yeah, and for me I've found a nice balance between Facebook and Twitter and RSS news feeds. For topics I need intense coverage on, I use RSS to get all the articles. For stuff like breaking sports news, I usually find Facebook to get me all the big stories, so long as I check at least once a day.
For Twitter, I usually get the the rumors, stuff that's more foresight and has the potential to happen. I don't really do tech stuff on Twitter, unless you count something like Slickdeals and their announcement of big deals.
