There is no direct one. But, theoretically it can be done using twitter's existing API and blockchain API. Though practically it wont work, because the no. of Tx is huge for blockchain, which is not allowed on Twitter. So, as soon as the app starts posting Tx tweets, it would be automatically banned for spamming the Twitter timeline.

This exactly.

Twitter handles that posted price updates in 1 Minute intervals got banned too! Now imagine what happens with 4-7 transactions per second ;)
