Want to read your Twitter feed inside of MS Outlook?
Here's a handy tip for reading Twitter feeds inside of MS Outlook. If you want to read the twitter feed of a particular user in Outlook, just add their RSS feed.
Here is the formula for getting a Twitter feed in RSS :
RSS URL = http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name={ twitter user }
- In the Outlook folders bar, right click on RSS Feeds > select "Add a New RSS Feed..."
- In the New RSS Feed popup, enter the twitter url of the user you wish to follow. EX : http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=ericfickes
- Click Add
- Click Yes to add this RSS Feed to Outlook
* This tip applies to any version of Outlook that includes RSS support. I think this is Outlook 2007 and higher.
