I checked out the twitter API a bit, first I wanted to try to use https://github.com/ttezel/twit to subscribe to direct_message but twitter deprecated some user streaming endpoint, so twitter account webhooks seem to be the way to go and https://github.com/super-ienien/twitter-webhooks looks good.

I like the idea of using webhooks (especially since streaming could end at any time). I plan to start a PR to get Express up and running to handle the webhook calls.
