I did something similar for RSS feeds and twitter: http://update-me.herokuapp.com - it is an RSS reader via Twitter. It DMs you post updates to feeds you subscribe to.
Could I request access to your API? I'm thinking of adding a HN subscription feature to @updt_me, something along the following lines:
1. User sends a tweet subscribing to thread ID, e.g. @updt_me START HN 6499036
2. @updt_me pings hnnotify with a callback to setup a subscription for the thread.
3. hnnotify pings @updt_me with thread-updates via the callback. POST payload, I think?
4. @updt_me DMs update to the user's twitter inbox! YAY!
I'm sure there's a simpler process than the one I outlined above. If you have any ideas, I'll be glad to hear them! :)
