How to make an RSS feed for your Twitter lists

Allan — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:08:24 +0000

Twitter lists are a handy way of grouping people you follow into specialities (I’ve set ones up for artists, journalists, and photographers I follow). I’ve set one up for everyone in Galway: newspapers, theatre companies, sports organisations and so on (if you wanted added, email me or tweet me at @allancavanagh).

I wanted to export this list as an RSS feed so it could be accessible to people who don’t have Twitter accounts. I’ve successfully done this with @GalwayTweets but only after web supremo Frank Prendergast figured it out for me (there’s very little up to date information out there).

Twitter has RSS feeds for your lists, it’s just a matter of knowing where to look. The URL for your feed is

http://api.twitter.com/1/[YourTwitterName]/lists/[nameoflist]/statuses.atom (don’t forget to remove the square brackets).

That worked for me. I hope it works for you!

Today’s Draw a Cartoon Character From Memory was Touché Turtle. I’m just in, so I had a go, with slightly more success than yesterday’s Yosemite Sam:

You can see the whole collection here.

Illy Nilly has come up with a rather fun Twitter game: every day they’re suggesting a cartoon character that you have to draw quickly from memory, no referencing, no second goes. Today’s was Yosemite Sam:

And my attempt at him here:

Not quite right!

You can see the rest here. Good fun, I’m looking forward to more!

Tweeting as I work!

I was tweeting as I was drawing last night, quite enjoyed the feedback!

Erm, um, my talk from the weekend

My talk in the Galway City Museum for Meet for Real.

Ireland’s first mass-tweeted movie!

That was great craic. Pressing play at the same time was like deciding who’s watch to use for the midnight countdown on New Year’s Eve, but it didn’t matter, we all got there in the end and there was even a late showing for those that couldn’t make the 8 o’clock.

Great idea Damien. I’m backing Spinal Tap for the next one. #goesupto11

I’m a Twit. I think.
