Nitter

I've literally just spent a couple of hours integrating Nitter.net's RSS feed into my custom feed reader. Why a couple of hours? Because Nitter for some reason returns a 404 header instead of 200 when it gives you the RSS feed data. Consequently stuff like PHPs file_get_contents() and curl_exec() return absolutely nothing... Took me ages (via trying to shell out to curl, and then back to using the lib again) before I realised it wasn't actually the 404 error cause the issue, but that curl (and libcurl) on my system doesn't like Nitters SSL cert, which then led me to CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to override it. Frustrating, but educational non-the-less. I'm using the search filter "(from:$username) -filter:replies" to get just the tweets I want. -- https://nitter.net.

Shareable Tweets

I created a free data exchange product between Twitter and Facebook in the form of a chrome extension https://2fb.me It’s interesting to see that this protocol product may be the only way to see tweets freely between two walled gardens today.
