RE: Twitter app that doesn't require a previously created account.

Thank you for this. I'm probably just going to have to grab the various rss
feeds and put them in a dedicated folder or something in my Google Reader
(Feedller), but I'm going to give these to suggestions a try.

Boxcar, which has proven to be unstable of late, has a service that will
push tweets from selected users without you needing to be on Twitter
yourself. I believe Push 4.0, which is far more stable, has this too but
could be remembering incorrectly.

Hi, unless I missed something. What's the problem with just creating a 
Twitter account, setting it to private, not following anyone except the 
accounts you want to monitor and using a Twitter app to read the stuff.

That's the point, I'd prefer not to have to bother with creating a Twitter
account at all. In any event, I'll follow up on some of the options
previously entioned.

Hi,

I completely forgot about boxcar, it is an option. I just took a look at push4 
and so far I only see the ability to receive notifications for keywords. Maybe 
it would work if you placed the twitter handle of the person in the field, but 
I don't know.

Twitter app that doesn't require a previously created account.

2012-08-20 Thread Cristobal
Hello list,

 

Maybe someone can help me out. I'm looking for an app that will allow me to
follow tweets and twitter handles, but without me having to sign into a
twitter account first. I don't have and have no interest in creating a
twitter handle and would just like to be able to follow certain tweets be it
from people I know, sports, news and politics  related stuff. I've tried
downloading a few apps, (Tweetcast and so on), but they all require me to
sign in.

 

I know I could just grab the rss feed for each twitter handle I wish to
follow and perhaps view them in my rss reader, but I'd prefer to just use a
stand alone app.

 

If anyone knows of such an app and that is reasonably accessible with
Voiceover, I'd appreciate knowing what it is.

Thanks,

--

I believe that you need to have an account to do this.  It’s just like Facebook 
in that regard.

Hi,
I am not aware of anyway to accomplish what you are trying to do. I do see what 
it is you are after, but the only suggestion I have is to just create the 
twitter account, set your tweets to private to prevent anyone from following 
you with your excepting them, and just follow the people you want to see tweets 
from and never post anything to your account.
