Filtering the Twitter cafe murmur with FeedRinse
So Twitter is nice to have in the background bumbling away but like many programmers I am paranoid I will miss something (admit it all you programmers; you read every single RSS item, every single email and anything that scrolls too fast to read completely is annoying as fek. Programmers want 100% solutions, not 80% or 99.999% solutions.)
Thankfully your Twitter stream comes in RSS (actually, atom) too and you can use a simple feed keyword filter system like FeedRinse to catch any tweets/twits you miss. Here is one I made on my Twitter stream that looks for “@paul” which is how it seems most of my Twitter buddies ping messages at each other.
Simple and Twitter didn’t have to provide the functionality. Yahoo! Pipes could provide an even more complex Twitter filter setup.
