Me = Non-techie. Will have to just wait for somebody to write up something and then use that.

Kapil,

I assume that you could probably take the output and write some kind of script that reformatted the date into something that TwitterFeed could recognize?

Yes Dawn, the problem seems to be at TweetScan. Their RSS is not formatted correctly with the date and time stamp.

Is there any other way to go about this?

James,

Oh crap! I unfollowed you (and a couple of others) “temporarily” while I was at sxsw when I was having a hard time managing volume. Just realized that I forgot to add you back to my following list! *embarrassed*

Hi Kapil, I suspect that the time stamp coming out of TweetScan, which I use in my pipe, contains a time stamp that isn’t formatted quite correctly. Yahoo Pipes seems to have a hard time parsing that field, also. Try grabbing a feed directly from TweetScan and see if you have the same issue with the time stamp in their feed when you put it into TwitterFeed. That will help me figure out if the issue is on the TweetScan side or an issue with my Yahoo Pipe.

I tried using the RSS from the yahoo pipes and inserting the same at http://www.twitterfeed.com but it seems to give me an error saying time stamp not there at the end. I wont to route the RSS of a particular username and have the same re-tweeted at a particular twitter account. But I am getting stuck now.

And I would like to thank Miz Dawn for fixing up my feed for me! I wouldn’t mind the random italian Tweet if I knew what they said. Thanks again!

Thejesh, exactly! This pipe shows the reply regardless of where it appears, and you see the replies of people that you don’t follow (in addition to those you do follow).

Cool pipe.
Twitter replies shows only those tweets in which you have @yourusername at the beginning of the tweet. If it is in the middle of the tweet text it wont show.
