- In the next few days I'll open up a free, experimental service to find out if Twitter can peer with feed reader software like [NetNewsWire](https://netnewswire.com) and [Feedly](https://feedly.com/). #
- After you log in, our server will periodically read your new tweets and update a public RSS feed, on our server, that mirrors your tweets, so you and others can follow them in any feed reader. #
- One thing that's different from earlier approaches is that tweets can have titles, something that most feed readers like/insist on. And the feeds will be 2022-compliant, using modern techniques for the world we live in today, not the world of twenty years ago. #
- People keep looking for software to replace Twitter. I don't like that approach because systems with tens of millions of happy users don't get replaced, but they can foster new developments built on their strength and ubiquity. I respect and love Twitter. My software does too.#
- Come to think of it, Twitter and RSS have a lot in common. Both are roughly contemporary pioneering efforts on which today's social media and news worlds are built. #
- Both are a bit worse for wear and tear, to quote the Rolling Stones. But they're still here! We'll make love. Twitter and RSS all the way. #
