Missingpersons Twitter Updater
Ok my plan to make a twitter feed from the http://www.missingpeople.org.uk rss feed at http://www.missingpeople.org.uk/areyoumissing/missing/rss/
My plan is to tweet new posts to the feed and suffix them with a tinyurl version of their permalink.
They have two problems with their feed. The first is that they only update it at midnight, so I will have to make my script check for new feeds and tweet them at a reasonable time,ie 2:00pm.
The second problem is that it seems that people need to be missing for about two weeks before they appear on the feed.
This idea was inspired my @chrisbrogan and an amber alert tweet he made.
