Is Twitter of any use to you both for that purpose? @MiyagiJournal

Not the parents, but RSS feeds are awesome. Twitter is ephemeral, but a feed can be batched and consumed at any time.

Looks like you're using Rails. Something like http://railscasts.com/episodes/87-generating-rss-feeds-revis... should be fairly straightforward.

Yep, implementation is a no brainer, was just curious about the viability of RSS as medium. It appears it is not dead!

Definitely not, especially among the crowd you aim to write for.

I'm a big fan of NewsBlur (YC S12) -- it restored my faith in RSS readers.

This exactly, I don't really have a way to save tweets with interesting content for later consumption, RSS does that for me by default.

If Twitter could be used that way, it isn't in this case. @MiyagiJournal hasn't posted anything about the latest two articles...

I also add my voice for an RSS feed.

If the app was OSS, I'd happy send a pull request.
