Clever but how about a real RSS feed of those so I don't have to go to an RSS feed, then twitter, then bitly, then the original link?<p>Especially since with the shortened URL I don't really know where I am going.
If anyone is interested I built a Yahoo Pipe that pulls in stories with 10+ votes: <a href="http://blog.abrah.am/2010/05/hacker-news-10-rss-feed.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.abrah.am/2010/05/hacker-news-10-rss-feed.html</a>
YAHNTB!! (Yet Another HN Twitter Bot) ,,, added to the list here: <a href="http://twitter.com/joemurph/hn-bots/members" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/joemurph/hn-bots/members</a>
<a href="http://twitter.com/newsycombinator" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/newsycombinator</a> is also good if you want anything that hits the front page (surprisingly it has almost 14,000 followers.. which seems sky high compared to the number of HN users to me.. :-))
This totally solves the problem I asked about a month ago. Thanks! <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1453143" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1453143</a>
How about if the original link is small enough to fit in without truncation (bit.ly), then show the original link as well as a bit.ly link to the comments.<p>I hate losing the domain information in bit.ly links, and the @hackernewsbot (<a href="http://twitter.com/hackernewsbot" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/hackernewsbot</a>) does a nice job of showing the original URL when possible.
If it isn't too much trouble a version of this for 40 points (and maybe 60) would be great. I find 20 to be way too much traffic in my Twitter feed, so I unsubscribed from it.
I just a newsyc20 tweet that said (via my twitter-id)<p>Figuring out the HN poster's twitter id and then including that in the tweet makes newsyc20 even more interesting
