A while ago, I shared a way to read Twitter and Weibo feeds with RSS.

Since then, Twitter's broken that technique. You can still get feeds you've set up already, but you can't create new ones. Weird! Maybe they didn't like people being able to read Twitter without signing up for it, I dunno.

Anyway, Falsinsoft have found another way to work it. Cheers!

  1. Find the Twitter account you want to follow
  2. Add the account name (lowercase, it seems) to the following link:
    http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=ACCOUNT NAME
  3. Stick the link into your RSS reader

For example, the Greinneyder can be followed on RSS via:
