I've been wondering what had happened to my ReadTwit RSS feed, and only just got round to finding out that it's now passed away. It's a shame as it was a nice little service that gave me a feed of all the links that those I follow tweeted about, so I didn't miss out. I've now looked around for an alternative and have just come across SiftLinks, so am giving that a go now.
James Constable explains the rationale for creating it::
"SiftLinks was created because I was tired of missing out on all the great links that people posted on Twitter that I never got the time to properly check out. I don't have a massive follow list but quite often, if I was away from the computer for a couple of days and only accessing Twitter via my iPhone, I'd miss out on reading some really interesting articles. I figured it would be easier if I could dash through those articles in my feed reader when I got the chance. I also figured that if I wanted this then someone else might too, so I went ahead and put it together."
Thanks for the post (and related tweet). You've doubled my user base overnight and given me the impetus to continue development on Siftlinks :)

Seems these services are too resource intensive. Readtwit is dead and siftlinks is only accepting small intakes.
