View Twitter Posts As RSS Feeds

by AndrzejL

Even though Twitter no longer provides RSS as an alternative way of following someone’s account if you are not registered with Twitter, (which is a shame, because I have just removed my Twitter account for a multitude of reasons), it’s still possible to do so by crafting a proper URL:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=username

So if you want to follow Texstar’s posts, add this to your RSS Feed reader:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=iluvpclinuxos

and enjoy the latest news from the world of PCLinuxOS.

If you are planning on following other PCLinuxOS developers, here are some addresses you may want to add to your rss reader:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=nealbrks

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=pcarchieos

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=hootiegibbon

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=iluvpclinuxos

The list of the links will be updated every now and then to make sure that I haven’t skipped anyone.
