I built Filter RSS so I could get all the cool stuff from Twitter without the shouting. Does anyone else find this useful?

Hi all, I wanted to get all the links that people shared with me on Twitter, but as an RSS feed, so I built this: filterrss.com

I made it public because I'm looking for freelance development work and needed a good portfolio piece, but maybe there's a business here? Does anyone else find this concept useful?

Some premium features I'm thinking about are a customizable email digest, multiple input sources, and different filter rules (maybe plugins?).

Also open to any constructive feedback about the site and product. If you do decide to try it, let me know if you hit any bugs at [email protected]. Or here, or @kaxline on Twitter.

    With this enable me to get an RSS feed of all my friends posts on Facebook for example?
    I've been searching for a tool like that for so long if so!

      I've only integrated Twitter at this point, but I'll be integrating Facebook soon if I hear a lot of demand for that. The way I'm currently envisioning the product, though, the feed that you get from Facebook would only be the links that people share, not the stuff they say in their posts.

      If you just want a feed of your Facebook timeline without going into the Facebook app, I think this will get you what you need:

      Oh cool, thanks a lot! Can I ask what you use to get your news or see what people you know are up to?

          It sounds like you're doing it right. I envy you. :)
