Twitter RSS Feed

Twitter changes and for the most part we are happy that change represents improvement. However one change that twitter has made is that they no longer directly support RSS Feeds. They recommend that if we wish to use RSS Feeds we should use a 3rd party service or "if you are comfortable with coding, use our developer resources to retrieve statuses."


However the following is a workaround that should work until Twitter changes things again!

The Solution to Locate Your Twitter Feed 

Use this code below and replace xxxxx with your Twitter username to use your Twitter RSS Feed:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=xxxxx (Where xxxxx is the username.)
That’s it, it’s really that simple.

How to Find Your Twitter Favorites RSS Feed

Your feed for only the favorites: http://twitter.com/favorites/xxxxx.rss (Where xxxxx is the username.)
Happy Twitter Feeding!
