Subscribing to Twitter’s RSS Feed
RSS means Really Simple Syndication, which is an online mechanism that shows all web content you like on one page. Think about a blog you read on a regular basis. Let’s say you want to be updated every time there is a new post. By subscribing to that blog’s RSS feed, you can see its content through your feeder. You can quickly find out if a blog or site has a new post or update without actually having to go to each place one by one. All of their content is compiled in together in one area.
RSS FEEDS ON TWITTER
Several of Twitter’s pages have an RSS feed you can subscribe to: profile, home, replies, and public timeline. Next time you visit one of these pages, look for the RSS feed button on the page’s sidebar or the page’s browser. So, if tracking the contents of one of Twitter’s pages without logging in sounds like an idea you are interested in, subscribe to one of Twitter’s RSS feeds.
TWITTERFEED
There are no applications on Twitter that let users update their tweet posts via RSS feeds, but some ingenious API users created an application called Twitterfeed, which immediately tells Twitter when you make an update to your blog. It is very simple to use. You just input the URL of your blog feed, and how often you tweet. Once you do this, all of your Twitter followers will see when you send a blog update announcement. You can get Twitterfeed at twitterfeed.com.
SIGNING UP FOR TWITTER’S RSS FEED
It would be nice to read Twitter’s updates without logging in, wouldn’t it? The way to do this is through registration on Twitter’s own RSS feed. It’s really easy. First, you go to Twitter’s public profile page, and then you look at the sidebar and find button “RSS feed.” This button is located under the picture of tweeters you follow. Click on the button, subscribe, and you will be able to read any updates on the twitter feed. No more logging in anymore to check.
The URL field in your own browser has a RSS feed as well. Clicking on the feed button will cause the “subscribe” button to pop up. So, click on that, and then you can see any updates in your own feed reader.
TWITTER’S PUBLIC PAGE
Twitter’s public profile page can be seen by anybody, and even by people who are not registered on Twitter. The only subscription they need is to the Twitter RSS feed account, not a personal Twitter account. However, if they want to reply, they will have to obtain a Twitter account first.
