Up until very recently, I was able to view public Twitter feeds (e.g., sh”tmydadsays, wszczerbiak) on the web. But starting within the last few days, all that loads up is a blank page with the Twitter logo at the top. Anyone have a work-around that does not involve me getting my own Twitter account?

I have no problem getting to wszczerbiakerwhatever from a PC with no twitter account using:

https://twitter.com/#!/wszczerbiak/ (https://twitter.com/#!/wszczerbiak/)

What browser/version are you using?

Firefox 13.0.1

But you pointed me to the solution. I use an add-on called CS-Lite (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cslite-mod/) to globally block all cookies unless I specifically give permission. it looks like Twitter is now demanding a cookie because allowing them to give me one allowed me to load the page.

Thanks Moonliner! :)

If they knew what was good for them they'd have held out for a love brownie.
