A comment on the problem "Problem with valid date time stamps" in twitterfeed:

The items in this feed don't contain dates - does blurty provide RSS 2.0 or Atom feeds that contain dates? twitterfeed won't work on feeds where items don't contain valid dates. – Mario Menti, on April 14, 2008 09:52

Ed - the dates are not in a valid format for a feed, see also: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?ur... – Mario Menti, on April 14, 2008 09:50

I too get an error report involving no valid time/date stamps. And yet they appear to be on my feed:

I can't answer this for you - I would try and see if there are any terms regarding their RSS feed on the site providing the feed. Different companies have different terms of use for their RSS content.

this is not my feed but I would like to make the twitter feed, can I ? http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/rss/uni...

If you look at the source of the feed, you can see that the individual items don't contain a date entry. twitterfeed needs this to know if an item is new and should be posted. I haven't really used Yahoo Pipes myself so am not sure how you'd make sure there is a pubDate for each entry, but perhaps someone at their support end could help.

How about this feed: http://pipes.yahoo.com/kg4jbj/03d4c7b...

Twitterfeed tells me: "We couldn't find valid date/time stamps on items. Please make sure your feed contains valid pubDate entries for each post "

Can I somehow extrapolate the date/time so it can work?

Mario Menti replied on March 04, 2008 09:55 to the problem "Problem with valid date time stamps" in twitterfeed:

I believe it's because the dates are not in a valid format, see also http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?ur...

Any reason why this feed doesn't work?

It looks like pubDate is in there, but Twitterfeed always reports a problem.

Thanks Mario, it's all working and it's all good ;)

Mario Menti replied on February 27, 2008 16:23 to the problem "Problem with valid date time stamps" in twitterfeed:

someonespecial: the reason for this is that your links on the individual items are all the same. twitterfeed checks these to avoid posting duplicate entries, on the assumption that each item in a feed contains a unique link to itself.
In a case like yours, the easiest way to get this to work is to uncheck the box that says "include item link" in the twitterfeed settings for this feed - the link is not really very useful in this case, as it's always the same, and this will also give you more characters to play with. If you don't include the link when posting, then twitterfeed won't check it and will post any items that are new according to the publish date.

Twitterfeed is great (and I've donated too) but there is definitely some kind of problem with some kinds of feeds.

Here is my feed that won't update in Twitter via Twitterfeed:
http://decidefor.us/rss.xml

You'll see if you use feedvalidator.org that my feed does validate.

Thinking there was perhaps some kind of weird bug with the RSS 2.0 format, I added the feed to Feedburner and had Feedburner turn it into an Atom Feed...I then attempted to set up THIS version of my feed in Twitterfeed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Crystal-Ball

But the problem still persists: whether using the original feed, or the Feedburner-ized atom version, Twitterfeed updates once...and then stops.

Please let me know if I need to somehow tweak the format of my feed to get it to work with Twitterfeed - I'll be happy to do this and I'm pretty frustrated.

You may want to check with feedburner support, but I wouldn't have thought changing the "original feed" URL would cause a problem. In essence you're telling feedburner to pick up a different feed, but in your case that's what you actually want to do.
