Some people doesn't care about this, but others do add stars to tweets that are fun, enlightening, or both. I wanted to be aware of what my twitter friends mark as favorite, and after no obvious google hit, <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/">Yahoo! Pipes</a> came <a href="http://xdexavier.blogspot.com/2007/12/tag-decorated-feeds.html">again</a> to the rescue.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T679aggANRU/SSv7PoRMxAI/AAAAAAAAAKw/7XdxbhXprco/s1600-h/twitterFavorites.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T679aggANRU/SSv7PoRMxAI/AAAAAAAAAKw/7XdxbhXprco/s400/twitterFavorites.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272584034693465090" border="0" /></a><br />The pipe creates a feed with the tweets that some one's contacts have marked as a favorite. Keep in mind that it only works for the up to 36 contacts that are shown in a user's page, since I did not want to get into the authentication issues required to get a full list of contacts. If you want, you can add additional users, that don't need to be your contacts.<br /><br />Customize it with your accounts and grab it at <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/xverges/friendsfavs">http://pipes.yahoo.com/xverges/friendsfavs</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Credits:</span> <a href="http://microformats.org/">Microformat</a>-scrapping the page is the only way I that found to get access to a list of contacts without authentication. I used Duane Cato's <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/duanecato/microformat_extract">Microformats contacts extractor</a> as a starting point, and just copied how he uses <a href="http://microformatique.com/optimus/">http://microformatique.com/optimus/</a> to grab the info that twitter kindly puts in <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard">hCard</a>s.-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com1
