Following Twitter in an RSS reader.
Varied reasons for following people on Twitter (including sheer imprudence) has resulted in a stream disproportionately populated with tweets from people that I'm either not really interested in hearing from on a daily basis, or are a bit too prolific in their tweeting. And as a consequence, I often miss tweets from certain people from whom I want to read everything said.
Until lists are supported in Tweetie for Mac, I'm going to experiment with following Twitter in an RSS feed reader (NetNewsWire on both OS X and the iPhone), subscribing to the Twitter RSS feeds of a limited number of people. Expected benefits include:
-
My stream should now be filtered on what I'm most likely to be interested in reading.
-
I can read my twitter feed at a dedicated time (i.e. far less frequently), and will be sure not to miss anything said by those I want to hear from.
-
I'll now get to see people's @replies, which I've long missed.
