AmandaWebb What's the RSS url?

PatrikHodapp Have you tried to open the RSS feed in Firefox and select Google reader from the dropdown menu. This usually works for us (rather than opening the URL when inside Reader)

Managed it at the end, thanks once more

Try this link (you might have to copy and past rather than click)

http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=%23ieclnu OR from%3Aieclnu

It looks like Twitter doesn't like the @ symbol in these searches

Thanks NupHero I hope it was useful. The feeds should update in real-time (or near enough) as it is using Twitter's own system. Although if you are using Google Reader I think you do miss some tweets - if GReader updates itself every 30 mins and the RSS feed holds 50 tweets (for argument's sake) if 60 tweets are being posted every 30 mins these 10 won't be recorded, as far as I know.

This would always be the case if Twitter hadn't removed the link for Twitter search terms so it's best to be very specific with what you are searching for. For really popular terms the Twitter API would be best.

pdscott Thanks you for that useful information. I used Google Reader, and it actually missed many tweets in search result (compare with result on Tweetdeck). So I switched to use FeedDemon, left those feeds into a folder which did not sync with Google Reader. Problem solved!

pdscott I also have a small question. Is there anyway to get RSS feed for Twitter list combine with any other operators such as hashtag or keyword? That'll be perfect. Thanks for reading.

Thanks akstout18 let us know when it's up. It's a pity that so many sites have removed (Twitter) RSS feeds, while others have never used them (Google+). Facebook seems to be the only site that has reintroduced them.

Hi NikolayIsakov we have a page which shows you how to use that method. http://bit.ly/sJCXbG - both RSS feeds seem to be the same though.

Hi Arg I haven't tested this on private accounts but I would say that you would need a public account. There may be a way of setting it up using the API but this would be more complicated.

Hi A1 , JonReedGoesOff had a similar problem below, http://j.mp/pxlJ2Y do any of these work for you?

Thanks Jon,

That sometimes happens (we think it might have something to do with Twitter’s API seeing Google Reader as a client making too many calls).

These tricks sometimes work for us

1) Install Chrome's official RSS reader extension which should allow you to direct the feed to reader.

2) Use Firefox's RSS page to directly open in Reader.

3) Change .rss in the fee URL to .atom (interestingly atom feeds have more entries than rss).

3) Sign into Feedburner and convert the feed --To do this add the feed to Feedburner then click on Optimize > Convert Format Burner (at the bottom). This will let you convert the feed from atom to RSS or vice versa.

4) If all else fails try again in a few hours (possibly when the Twitter calls limit resets) - it might sound like a cop-out but it has worked for us.

Let us know if any of these work for you.

I'm having the same issue as Jon. I use Firefox, so I tried options 2 and 3 without any success. Google Reader keeps coming back with "The feed being requested cannot be found."

lea724 Hi, I'd try it again in a few hours but in the meantime can you convert the feed in Feedburner?Pop us the link, I'll see if I can have a look.

This is the link I'm trying to get the RSS feed for: http://twitter.com/#!/rabbirubinger

When I put the twitter URL in Feedburner, I get the following error: "The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 25: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference."

When I put the .rss URL (http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/378223934.rss) in Feedburner, I get the following error: "Received HTTP error: "Bad Request" while fetching source feed."

Any help is appreciated. :)

Well, it seems to be working for me now. I used the .rss URL above, and put it into Google Calendar and suddenly everything worked. Very strange that it wasn't working before, but I'm glad it's working now.

Kate at Rose McGrory Social Media Thanks, we've, literally, just done a small update.
