[Air-L] First simple request: directory of twitter accounts for organizations?

[Ed Summers]

As others have pointed out, the idea of automating the organization name 
-> twitter account lookup has all sorts of potential failure modes. 
Nevertheless, as a little experiment I thought it might be interesting 
to see if it were possible to automate this little heuristic:

1. Search for the organization on Wikipedia.
2. Look in the Wikipedia article for the "official website" link.
3. Look for a Twitter account on the organization's homepage.

I gave it a try in a Jupyter notebook [1] and wrote a few words about it 
[2] if you want to take a look. Of course this approach relies entirely 
on there being a Wikipedia article in the first place. It's basically a 
house of cards waiting to fall down :-) But if you want me to try 
running it on your list we could give it a try.
