If I am not planning on using one or two hours, I read most social sites (subreddits, HN, blogs, ...) using an RSS (it's not dead!) reader. Web sites are built with some features that make the reader spend more time on a site. I think this is a fact people will get sooner or later.
Being on a program that let's you skim efficiently through articles makes you an efficient news consumer. Moreover, I can save articles for later, without using my already too-much packed bookmark section on my browser.
As for twitter, I have never used it too much for social purposes. It helps me reach more people that might be interested in my product (so, yes, another one of these shouting voices there).
Not that my story would be relevant, or had the number of followers the author has, but going back to using an RSS reader has improved how I use my free time reading news.
