Nothing really dies

Recently I've been reading a spat of articles about how Twitter is killing RSS, or how blogging is dead etc.  I don't think they have 'died'.  Instead, they have only found their place on the web.
Take RSS for example.  Initially we used it as a feed format to stay updated on what our favorite companies are up to.  Now, Twitter is more effective at achieving that objective.  However, RSS continues to be a fantastic 'standard' for organizing information about a specific piece of content as it clearly identifies titles, descriptions, authors etc.
So how about this? Next time, instead of saying something is dead, say it's achieved nirvana.
