  Description     : web scraper to convert a Twitter timeline to an RSS feed

tweeper(1) is a web scraper which extracts the most recent public tweets of
a given user from their home page on Twitter.com and formats them in RSS, so
the information can be conveniently accessed and collected by a feed reader.

Tweeper started as the TWitter FEEd scraPER but support for other web sites
has been added.

The sites that tweeper is able to scrape and convert to RSS are:
   
 * Twitter.com
 * Pump.io based websites, like Identi.ca
 * Dilbert.com

tweeper can be used as:

 1. a command line tool;
 2. as a filter for feed readers;
 3. as a web based tool when PHP support is available in the web server.
