Boycott Twitter - Acquiring Feeds TOO Difficult

I won't really boycott Twitter but I'll definitely omit Twitter feeds from Futuristic Reader. It is a shame I often feel the need to embed Tweets, embedded Tweets are very useful, is it is shame Twitter couldn't also provide an useful feeds option, I don't enjoy depending on disrespectful services. Twitter is making it very difficult and perhaps impossible to obtain a feed, this is the problem. Formerly it was very easy to obtain a Twitter feed, you merely adjusted the Twitter URL to the search term or profile you wanted, but now it seems you need a write a JSON App and then convert the App to RSS.

@twitterapi WTF dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/g…? I only want TwitterSearchFeed. What next? People must solve 10k quadratic equations b4 every Tweet?

The problem is Twitter is retiring API 1.0 on the 11th of June, according to engadget, which I only discovered towards the end of building this FR site. On 6th of June the Twitter API 1.0 suffered a blackout (death-throes) ahead of the June 11th end. I have asked around a few places to see if there was an easy solution but it seems not.

Anyway if a social network makes it difficult to share information, in this case via feeds, then I am very disinclined to favour that network with my time and energy. Walled gardens, limits, restrictions, or obstacles regarding sharing, it is anti-social, it is the antithesis of being social, social is all about sharing therefore even if I could implement a Twitter feed, I have decided not to. I am actually thankful for Twitter's hypocritical anti-social stance becuase the additional reddit feeds I've added are better quality than the initial Twitter feeds had intended to use:

http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=Robotics

Phew! Here are some feeds, or resources, I was unsure about including or decided not to include:

Finally I'd like to fit in the feed for Robert Scoble's YouTube uploads, but I'm unsure where to fit it:

Tubes Must Be Freed - FR Feed-Piping Saves World

Perhaps Ted Stevens regarding his infamous "series of tubes" speech would be fearsome of Futuristic Reader? The truth is FR will save the Internet by preventing web-traffic-jams. The congestion, which Ted wrongly feared, will be averted.

FR will save the world, or at least the Internet, by making sci-tech news easier to catch and digest. A streamlined approach to news, regarding technological acceleration, will really save the world because these feeds will make it easier for people to feed their minds, which means people can become more intelligent. Intelligence is the solution to everything.

Now for the serious stuff. You may think Ted's anti-net-neutrality bunkum is a thing of ancient history, but on the 28th May 2013 Technology Review published an article stating the battle is not over. Free the tubes! I agree with David Aames, David said Thomas Tipp was right, "people will read again."

A Great Idea - Futuristic Reader

Today I had a great idea. I was thinking about how Google Reader will soon be closing therefore I decided to create my own style of reader purely regarding futuristic news.

If you enjoy reading about futuristic news then you will appreciate this website. I am not sure how long creating this site will take. It should be easy to create because all the content will be piped feeds. I merely need to perform some minor stylistic editing, thankfully I already have a reasonably suitable site template and styles. Perhaps this site will be complete sometime around the 7th of June 2013, check back then. At the moment I am merely testing some ideas thus things may not be clear during the design period and things may change a lot.
