Daily Twitter updates

The G.h data set could travel further and more directly through social media. We should create a Twitter bot that posts a summary of new cases every day.

because this is a Python-made project, then there should be a bot made with Python. Integrstion will be easier. We can make this with pytweet library (just an idea)

Hi @oliszymanski, thanks for the suggestion! I agree, and Python and some library (tweepy or pytweet or something)will likely be the weapons of choice. I write issues without implementation details to grant developers freedom -- we want feature X, work backward from there.

I will finish a refactor soon that provides a clean pattern for adding ad-hoc scripts in Python (for programmers and researchers) and R (for researchers) to make integrations even easier going forward.

We will re-focus this task for turn-key application; de-prioritized for MPX & Ebola.
