So, I am not surprised no one is working on Twitter widget.

Or are you saying that people are unlikely to make a widget because *you* find it pointless?
I am suggesting that other developers also find it pointless to use and develop things for Twitter. Giving myself as an example.

Especially for free.

If there was a working OVI Store with plausible revenue model, I am sure that you will find tons of Twitter widgets and other useless trash, masses are willing to pay $1 for.

Does anyone know why I can't use the RSS widget to add my own twitter RSS feed to it when my twitter profile is set to private?

I was like you until about a month ago and I decided to fiddle with the twitter plugin for conversations and now find it invaluable. i don't really use it to tweet my own tweeter so to speak, but I do use it to research what is going on with various technologies around me.

It is currently the most up-to-the-second news medium out there, IMO.

If there is something I want to keep up with I now go to Conversations and click Send IM To using twitter account #<whatever> which basically searchs all of twitter for that tag.

try it with #meego

Tell me exactly how could I subscribe tags (not people) on Twitter.

install the twitter plugin for conversations

configure twitter account, like add account in status area

open conversations app

tap menu at top, tap Send IM to put in #<whatever you want>

Click Continue

It will pull in the 25(I think most recent) and if you leave that conversation open it will continue to poll. If you close it you will still see it listed in your conversations so you can click on it to go there again

Hope that helps
