you can access via a bookmark a .xml page including

<created_at>Tue Mar 13 00:43:07 +0000 2007</created_at>

how to

bookmark i.e.
http://twitter.com/users/show/sex.xml

Than edit the new created bookmark →rightclick →properties
url ............/%s.xml instead of sex.xml
keyword h


how to access the xml page

use in the addressbar "h username" and hit ENTER
