Follow Hacker News on Twitter

20 points by riklomas 19y ago

I made a script that takes the top 5 stories from Hacker News and feeds them to Twitter, so you can get breaking stories directly to your Twitter stream

  It updates every hour so it should show new stories pretty regularly, I made this for myself but I thought that other people on here would fine it useful too

    Hourly is good. Any more frequent and it might be annoying ;)

      I made a very similar bot for del.icio.us popular too, if anyone's interested: http://twitter.com/twittilicious http://twitter.com/twittilicious

        Why not write something generic that lets you follow any RSS you want on twitter in an hourly interval...
