Any alternatives for Twitter RSS after native service is shut down?

Question

Twitter's RSS feeds used to be in the form https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/username.rss; then they moved to https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=username. Apparently this too will be discontinued, in March 2013 (i.e. this month!) and this time with no alternative way to get them.

Is there any app that generates an RSS feed from a Twitter timeline? This would be necessary for those of us needing to switch from the current RSS feeds.

Ideally, I'd be looking for an app that requests permission to view my Google Reader feeds and gives me a list of new feed URLs for my twitter-based feeds, but really, even a manual (one-by-one) generator would be great.

Answer 1

You may try to use feed from 'Twitter RSS' site: http://twitter-rss.com/ (currently support only user timeline)

Answer 2

Although not a direct way to get feed, there is an RSS reader that supports reading of Twitter timelines - BazQux Reader. It not only shows tweet's text but also author avatar and attached pictures.

You could try import your Google Reader subscriptions and it should automatically handle your old links using new Twitter JSON API. You could also subscribe to new Twitters by just entering twitter.com/UserName url.
