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/11564

Some services came up to overcome this "problem":

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

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 user's "screen name" (without the
'@') as the first argument.

Example of use on the command line:

  $ php tweeper.php NSACareers

Example of use as a Liferea[2] filter:

  $ liferea-add-feed  "|php .../path_to_tweeper/tweeper.php NSAcareers"
