We love Twitter but we hate that they have removed RSS feeds from users’ profiles and search.

 

But while most systems designed to generate Twitter RSS feeds require you to hack around with the URL we thought we’d look at an easier way. So we developed these easy-to-use bookmarklets which allow you to generate RSS feeds for users’ profiles and search terms.

 

A bookmarklet is a small piece of code that sits in your browser’s bookmarks toolbar. Like browser add-ons, they’re designed to add extra functionality to your browser or the sites that you regularly visit.

Find out how bookmarklets can be used to help you interact with various social networks faster and easier.

 

We have two Twitter RSS bookmarklets, one for profiles and one for searches. To use these, just drag the links from the page onto your browser’s bookmarks’ bar (Chrome and Firefox). If you’re using Internet Explorer just right-click on the links and select “Add to Favorites”.

 

Get any user's Twitter RSS feed or a Twitter search term's RSS feed using these browser bookmarklets : http://goo.gl/S3rHn

Most Useful Bookmarklets for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.

Try some of the best and most useful bookmarklets for Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, IE, Opera and other web browsers. These bookmarklets help you do stuff without installing any add-ons.

 

1. Why Use Bookmarklet over Add-ons

 

If you were to choose between a bookmarklet and a browser add-on, both offering similar functionality, here are a couple of reasons why you may want to go with bookmarklets:

 

>> Add-ins are browser specific so tomorrow if you decide to move from Firefox to Opera or Google Chrome, your favorite add-ins will no longer work. On the other hand, a bookmarklet written for Firefox is very likely to work with Safari or IE.

 

>> Some add-ins can break (or won’t install at all) if you try installing them on a newer version of the browser. And this is a big problem considering that new browser patches are released every couple of months.

 

>> Unlike add-ins that require installation, you can add and remove bookmarklets without restarting the browser.

 

>> Poorly coded add-ins can significantly slow down your browser while bookmarklets have negligible (if any) effect on memory usage as they are executed on-demand.

 

2.  The Best Bookmarklets for Web Browsers

 

Now that you know the benefits of using a bookmarklet and how easy it is to add one to your own browser bookmarks, let me share some of my favorite bookmarklets that are both useful and powerful (selection) :

 

+ Capture Screenshot (and upload to online services)

+ ToRead.cc (send web pages by email)

+ Download PDF (download web pages)

+ Show RSS Feed (and subscribe in your newsreader)

+ PrintWhatYouLike (format web pages for printing)

+ Get Long URLs (rewrite all short links)

+ GMail This! (email message pre-populated with the selected text)
