SiftLinks - personalised Twitter links to your RSS reader

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 :)

James, so pleased to hear that - keep up the development - it's looking very good

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