Tweeper is a web scraper which extracts the most recent public tweets of
a given user from their home page on Twitter.com and formats them in RSS, so
the information can be conveniently accessed and collected by a feed reader.

Since Jun 11th 2013 Twitter.com retired their API v1.0, so it's not possible
to access a user timeline via RSS anymore, and it's also become mandatory to
authenticate via OAuth to access this _public_ information in JSON format:

  https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/16289
  https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/11564

Some services came up to overcome this "problem":

  http://twss.55uk.net/
  http://twitter-rss.com/ (now redirecting to google.com)
  http://rssitfor.me

However these solutions are still shady and let no control to the user about
who collects the information about the visited user timelines.

This is why Tweeper[1] was born, as an Open Source way to keep following your
friends with a certain degree of anonymity, without having to tell Twitter.com
whom you are friend to.

Tweeper can be used via web or as a command line program, for example as
a filter in your feed reader, by passing the URL of the user's public timeline
as the first argument.

Example of use on the command line:

  $ php tweeper.php http://twitter.com/NSACareers

Example of use as a Liferea[2] filter:

  $ liferea-add-feed  "|php .../path_to_tweeper/tweeper.php http://twitter.com/NSAcareers"
