Show Twitter Feeds in WordPress RSS SidebarMarch 27, 2008

My family uses Twitter to share quick updates about what we’re doing. With a family of nine, plus spouses, in-laws and grandkids, it’s a challenge to keep up with everyone.

Twitter enables us to post a simple one-liner in answer to the question, “What are you doing?” Best of all, you can update it via IM, SMS text message, or online via web browser. Simply post a new update, and everyone who “follows” you will see what you’re up to.

There’s even a great iPhone app that works with Twitter.

Twitter feed not displaying properly in your WordPress RSS Sidebar Widget?

Solution: Add a question mark to the end of the RSS feed, when you add it to the Sidebar Widget. For example:

http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/14091920.rss?

This will force the RSS Widget to always grab the latest version of your Twitter feed.

Enjoy!
