So there I am casually minding my own business making a sexy PHP wrapper for the Gowalla API when I spy this tweet from @at1mp about getting RSS feeds for Gowalla Spots. I popped on over to the Gowalla site as I was fairly sure that such feeds existed but I couldn't find one.
That leads me to this quickly thrown together new tool which uses the Gowalla API to show you the latest events at a Gowalla Spot of your choice.
To get it to work, go to http://gowallatools.com/web/rss/spots/XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the spot id of the place you are interested in (to get this id number, go to the spots page on Gowalla.com and you'll see a number in the address bar - it's that one! Usually 5 or 6 digits long). So, if you wanted an RSS feed of the people who have checked in at Gowalla Incorporated, you could do so by saving http://gowallatools.com/web/rss/spots/420315 in your RSS feed reader of choice.
We'll be releasing more useful feeds in the future but let us know how you get on with this one!
