Show HN: updt_me - delivers RSS/Atom feeds straight to your Twitter DM inbox.
# What
[@updt_me](http://twitter.com/updt_me) is meant as an RSS reader via twitter. The idea is pretty simple - you follow @updt_me and send a tweet mentioning the handle, a keyword ("START") and a feed URL. Now, whenever there's a new post on the feed, @updt_me sends you a DM with a link to the post. (Hence, the need to follow...)
# Why? Well, I don't use twitter frequently but I do have an app on my phone. My RSS reader slowly grew into a mammoth pile of feeds that I eventually stopped caring about. My source of news these days, is aggregators and forums like Reddit and HN.
However, I do pay attention to my DMs on twitter. So I decided to create an RSS feed reader with Twitter as the interface point.
# How Whenever you see a feed you want to follow, all you have to do is follow the user @updt_me and send out a tweet of the form "@updt_me START <feed_url_here>", for example:
"@updt_me START http://barrettsheridan.com/feed".
Whenever the feed has a new post, you'll receive a DM with the link and the title of the post.
The site is currently running on a free Heroku instance with tweets being grabbed every hour or so. Might increase the frequency if the project picks up traction. :)
