2011-12-01: fixes for new twitter messages format (with http://t.co/ instead of all direct links)

Amazon's kindle ebook reader has the wonderful ability to publish user's notes at http://kindle.amazon.com, posting links to the published note to Twitter. But there's no rss feed for published notes.

This simple service follows links to notes at twitter and creates RSS feed and iCalendar entries for shared notes.

I like the idea of my reading process somehow reflected in the Internet. Searchable, browsable, linked to other events of my life. I'm using this service as a data feed for my friendfeed account and as a custom calendar in Google Calendar.

You'll have to have a Kindle 3 reader and an active Twitter account in order to use this service. To connect a Twitter account to your Kindle, go to the Settings screen and select "manage" next to Social Networks. Then do the following:

1. Create a note in your kindle device ( please refere to section 3.5 "Annotations and Clippings" in your Kindle's user's guide for instructions on creating a note )
2. Press Alt-Enter to share a note. At this point your note is saved on http://kindle.amazon.com server and the link to that note is posted to Twitter. Check your twitter feed just to make shure that everything worked as expected.
3. Now you can connect this service to your twitter account using "Connect with twitter" button above. You will be redirected to twitter.com to confirm that you really grant us a privilege to read your twitter notes. Press big blue "Allow" button if you feel so.
4. After a short conversation with all interested parties your browser will show your personal page on this.Server with the customized links to your RSS and iCalendar links.

If you find it useful or have ideas for improvement please send me an email: sasha_nikolaev@yahoo.com.
