a lot of notices are sent out to twitter. either as repeats or replies.
but a lot of usernames on twitter are different.
please make sure that the correct twittername of the user is read from the users twittersettings, and inserted first, before notices are sent out to twitter.
just one example:
bavatar is @bavatar123 on twitter.
but all repeats and replies get sent to @bavatar on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/search/bavatar

Would it be enough to match the foreign user nickname and add it if it's not there?
I.e, this would be harder to do properly if one is supposed to _replace_ the local nickname with the Twitter username.
As we all know, there's no need to supply a user nickname when replying. But without replacing it, original posts or "CC-posting" might still misfire.
However I think it's better to treat StatusNet nicks as the intended receiver - and only add the Twitter nick if it's specifically not there.
...if I made myself clear at all. Either way, I have this working on freesocial.org and will try to make it work with git mainline master.
