Made a deadline reminder for startup programs

I created a Twitter account that will automatically post reminders before the deadlines of each program in incubatorlist.com:

https://twitter.com/incubator_list

For example, applications for several MassChallenge programs, including Boston Accelerator, are closing in 3 days. Hurry up to apply!

PS. This Twitter account will not be limited only to reminders. I will also share the most recent news and articles about startup programs.

      I am either pulling them using multiple sources such as Crunchbase or handpicking them from their websites. Currently, it is semi-automized, but I don't want to make it fully automated as it is a curated directory.

        What do you use to make it semi-automized? Are you scaping the data? I have a similar kind of listing service in a completely different field. Check it out on ScholarAhead.com. It's for students in middle and high school :)

        I'm trying to figure out how to optimize things as I've been doing everything manually. I feel like I should be using technology to scrape this information.

          Hey!

          Yes, I scrape some of the data from multiple sources, but most of them are also collected manually, as I wanted to show every piece of information correctly. But I plan to have more data & more metrics, in that case I need to use scraping more.

          I use automation for a couple of simple things like posting before deadlines to Twitter or updating open/closed information based on the deadline.
