A few years ago, I consolidated all of my internet information flow into Google Reader and Google Mail. My decision has paid off handsomely except for one small, niggling problem - Twitter. Twitter used to provide an unsecured RSS feed, but midway though 2008, the RSS feed required authentication. Google Reader does not support authenticated feeds.
I've decided to try to take up Twitter again, and will be using my old, partial fix - piping my Twitter feed through Yahoo Pipes before it hits Google Reader. The downside to this is that Yahoo Pipes only poles once ever few hours and due to the nature of RSS, Google Reader only picks up the first 20 items each time Yahoo Pipes polls. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but given the nature of Twitter, this solution is marginal at best.
Hopefully a better solution will rear its head soon, of I might have to drop Twitter again.
