Btw, for those of you who would like to use "mythtvosd" to display the
tweets, I'm using this script as a callback:

#!/bin/sh
TWEET=`echo "$3" | sed -e "s/&/and/g"`
mythtvosd --template=scroller --bcastaddr=192.168.1.3
--scroll_text="$1: ${TWEET}"

It appears that "mythtvosd" does not like "&" characters, so I'm
simply replacing it with the text "and".
