Twitter Account that posts new WR

Hey All,

I was wondering if there is a Twitter account that posts new WR. I'm someone that loves watching Speed Runs and would love to just follow a twitter account whenever there is a new WR. I'm sure there are a ton of casual fans out there that would love the same thing.

Rather than build something that already exists, I thought I'd just ask first.

If that answer is that one doesn't exist I'd love to talk to people that have built tools to work with speedrun.com before.

Right now without more research I could tap into the notification system and follow all games and have the email go out to an end point. Parse the email and tweet from there. But that seems like a lot of work.

Alternatively I could ping the home page parse out the latest runs and tweet out when a new WR happens. I have a feeling that would would be more reliable.

I have a ton more thoughts about this, and will pour more time into it before I start to build. But I want to first find out if it exists yet. :)

Thanks,

Massachusetts, USA

Awesome, you are the best!
