This is an awesome post - really helps me out as I'm looking to make a custom pipe for the industry I service using a whole bunch of different sources

Found a problem. Select by 'usernameA' does give all Tweets by 'usernameA' in the Title, BUT also gives other Tweets uplodaed by other friends with '@usrenameA' in the Title. They are there because Twitter does that when user A sends a 'reply' to user B. Pity, as I find the Fetch Feeds difficult to identify individuals

@Tim: The RSS link is still at the bottom of my page, maybe they're supporting it again?

BUT.

Requires username and password. Couldn't figure how to add that in pipes, unfortunately.

the "with friends" RSS feed is no longer provided by Twitter:
http://status.twitter.com/p...

So this will no longer work.

I wanted to create a custom Twitter group to aggregate all of the NASA mission tweets:

This is my first attempt at Pipes, so this sample isn't finished.

Christopher, your idea sounds great! However, when I went to view your sample, the result said "No pipe results for Twitter filter."

Is this a twitter issue, or a Yahoo pipes issue?

I can't believe nobody has included a link to 30boxes' excellent tool that does this without knowing Yahoo Pipes. I don't work for them or anything, I just love their services.

It's designed to be viewed from a mobile browser, but works really well in a desktop browser. Just throw in the names of up to 6 friends (I think, I've never done more than 4) and it gives you a page you can bookmark right away. The usernames are passed in the URL, so it's very flexible.
