Contributor

Twitter is an extremely versatile Web 2.0 application. With Twitter users can send updates, known as "Tweets," of no more than 140 characters. Other users view these updates from the Twitter website or via an external Twitter application. You can even use an RSS feed to keep your Twitter updates current.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose the Twitter feed you want to use. You can use several RSS feeds with Twitter, including your "Profile" page, your "With Others" page, your homepage and your @replies page.

  2. Step 2

    Log into Twitter. Browse to the particular page on which you want to use an RSS feed.

  3. Step 3

    Scroll to the bottom of the page.

  4. Step 4

    Click the "RSS" button. This takes you to the XML page for your Twitter RSS feed. Here, you can dd the feed to your RSS feed reader or your browser.

Tips & Warnings
  • A desktop feed reader may be able to discover your Twitter RSS feed automatically as well. Check your feed reader's instructions for more information.
  • Your browser can discover the Twitter RSS feed automatically. Simply browse to the appropriate page and use your browser's RSS button.
  • You can also send an RSS feed to Twitter using the free Twitter Feed service, available from the Twitter Feed website.
  • When you view your Twitter RSS feed via a web-based feed reader, you don't see @replies. This is because @replies require you to authenticate, and most web-based feed readers don't support authentication. A desktop-feed reader, however, will show @replies.
