TwitterForBusyPeople (via @angryjohnny) is actually a great site! You enter your, or any, Twitter name into the single box on the homepage.

FeedTwit might be useful for a couple reasons I can see right away. You have a very specific RSS feed you want to be immediately updated on so getting it as a DM in Twitter would also send you a SMS (if you configured this) You want some @replies in Twitter to notify you right … Continue reading
