Twitter Digest in Ruby
Message from 2022
This post is pretty old! Opinions and technical information in it are almost certainly oudated. Commands and configurations will probably not work. Consider the age of the content before putting any of it into practice.
I wanted a customizable tool to turn my daily Twitter stream into a single daily Atom entry for self-explanatory reasons.
The result is on github, and isn’t terribly difficult to use:
- Get the one file.
- Make sure you have the prereqs (rubygems, twitter4r, activesupport, builder).
- Edit the source to point at your twitter account, and the selection of updates that you want to get.
- Run it and redirect the output somewhere fun/useful.
