They also need to separate out links from the tweet, and into a separate piece of data. And they really need to allow for editing typos.

  This is a typical requirement that blows up on implementation. How do you deal with retweets? Example: >I tweet: I love christians @Pontifex @Pontifex retweets. Fix "typo": I hate christians @Pontifex Refresh @Pontifex profile, screenshot ... Do you notify retweeters that the post was edited and ask for acknowledgement? Do you nullify the retweet? Do you mark it as edited?

    You don't do anything. You let the retweeter worry about it.

    Not a total solution, but e.g. edited posts/comments on Facebook are clearly marked and have links to a diff.

    What happens to the retweet if you delete a tweet? the same should happen if you edit a tweet...
