Twitter recently stopped supporting basic RSS

So no longer can we us RSS feeds from twitter pages, lists, searches, etc.
This is news to me, but seems this happened last year…what a great tool for sharing, now Gone.

Twitter says why and what to do about it:

Twitter recently stopped supporting basic authentication over RSS in favor of OAuth, an authentication method that lets you use applications without giving them your password. You can read more about the change here: http://blog.twitter.com/2010/08/twitter-applications-and-oauth.html

Because of this change, we no longer directly support RSS feeds on Twitter.

  • If you would like to continue using RSS feeds from Twitter accounts, we recommend using a 3rd-party service.
  • Or, if you are comfortable with coding, use our developer resources to retrieve statuses.
