Grabbing a different feed

The second parameter is the ID of the user that you want to display tweets from. To get this ID:

1. Visit the user's profile on Twitter. For example, we will be grabbing the user ID of @Google.
2. Right-click on the page, and click "View page source" ("View source" in Internet Explorer). (Also, Ctrl+U in Firefox and Chrome).
3. Search for (Ctrl+F) .rss in the page source
4. Copy the RSS feed URL. It should look something like: http://twitter.com/favorites/276459840.rss
5. 276459840 is the user ID.
