Twitter RSS feed

Question

How can you get an RSS feed of your own tweets from Twitter? The official Twitter page says they no longer support it. What third-party feed software do you use?

Answer 1

You can use Google Reader to fetch RSS feeds from twitter. Just remove #! from https://twitter.com/#!/username and paste the URL in "Add a Subscription" field in Google Reader. In fact Google Reader will also give you the actual feed URL in form of https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/xxxxxxxxx.rss if you click upon "Show Details" on the right side of feeds page.

Answer 2

Here's an alternate location of RSS feeds in Twitter:

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

Do replace "labnol" in the URL with your own Twitter screen name.

Answer 3

Construct the RSS URL as

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/username.rss

where username is your Twitter username. I just tested it, and it works! I used Opera's RSS feed reader (menu Feeds), but any RSS reader should do.

For example, if you are Clay Shirky (http://twitter.com/cshirky) the RSS URL is

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/cshirky.rss
