RSS Feed not recognized in NewsBlur

Just discovered a way to get RSS from twitter ( http://www.labnol.org/internet/twitte… ) but the resulting feed can’t be used with newsblur - any ideas? Error: “This address does not point to an RSS feed or a website with an RSS feed.”

Looks good to me: http://www.newsblur.com/site/9478/dig…

Thanks for the quick reply - great support from your side :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I was too ambiguous. I didn’t mean the site I had linked to
but the one you can generate using the instructions on this site
(generate a twitter widget - then deploy a google web script).

I could give you a direct link to my ‘personal’ twitter-widget-rss-feed
but I don’t want to post it for the public. Is there a way to send you a PM or Mail?

I suggest you send it through the RSS Validator, which will tell you what’s wrong with it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If I use e.g. http://validator.w3.org/feed/ it seems that the google web script returns a website - starting like:


But if I enter the same URL into the browser I get an rss feed - like



I am not sure, but maybe google is returning something different if the caller is not a ‘human’ !?

The strang thing is that Jeremy has reported here:

that he used the same method successfully.

Any tips someone?
