How to post multiple Twitter users with lists and FeedX

I just figured this out and thought I would pass it along as this has taken a while to figure out.

Twitter doesnt do RSS feeds of lists. I don’t know why, they just don’t. so if you want to feed a group of Twitter users tweets to a web page, you can use lists to do it, but then you’ll have to do this...

make your list and add people to it.

Copy the url of a list, for example http://twitter.com/erwinelling/eightmedia
Modify the url to look like this http://api.twitter.com/1/erwinelling/lists/eightmedia/statuses.atom

I got this here:

...after much hunting. Trust me don’t use Pipes ...it doesnt work. And the Twitter2RSS app that is in a lot of blog posts is gone, so this is your only option.

so then with FeedX you will need the Atom template, I modified mine to get the photo of my tweeples.
