Here's the deal: Twitter's JSON API sends this set of information back when you request the detailed data for a tweet: { "created_at":"Wed Jul 18 01:03:31 +0000 2012", "id":225395341250412544, "id_str":"225395341250412544", "text":"This is a test tweet. #boring @nbc http://t.co/LUfDreY6 #skronk @crux http://t.co/VpuMlaDs @twitter", "source":"web", "truncated":false, "in_reply_to_status_id":null, "in_reply_to_status_id_str":null, "in_reply_to_user_id":null, "in_reply_to_user_id_str":null, "in_reply_to_screen_name":null, "user": <REDACTED>, "geo":null, "coordinates":null, "place":null, "contributors":null, "retweet_count":0, "entities":{ "hashtags":[ { "text":"boring", "indices":[22,29] }, { "text":"skronk", "indices":[56,63] } ], "urls":[ { "url":"http://t.co/LUfDreY6", "expanded_url":"http://www.twitter.com", "display_url":"twitter.com", "indices":[35,55] }, { "url":"http://t.co/VpuMlaDs", "expanded_url":"http://www.example.com", "display_url":"example.com", "indices":[70,90] } ], "user_mentions":[ { "screen_name":"nbc", "name":"NBC", "id":26585095, "id_str":"26585095", "indices":[30,34] }, { "screen_name":"crux", "name":"Z.
