Thought I'd start a new topic for anyone interested (or have already done it) in switching from social media to old fashioned news/forums. Like RSS for keeping abreast for news.
I have been using feedly.com, which is useful in these ways:
Supports twitter feeds as well as searches (I've setup a search feed for neuron.zettel.page; to monitor if anybody talks about neuron)
news.google.com alerts. This is pretty useful when you want to be updated of new articles from somebody that has no canonical blog with RSS. For eg., I can enter Thomas Sowell to create a feed that siphons all the recent articles by Sowell.
Reddit: you can use the .rss url like this to track the top posts in any subreddit
Mailing list to rss: feedly supports creating unique email addresses that you can use to sign up to the various mailing lists, and they appear as a feed with unread items on new emails.
