... so what's to stop an opponent from reading his tweets (in which he shares his hands)? edit: i guess he wasn't too worried about it when there were so many

  It doesn't matter too much (although silence is probably the better option) as long as you imply that you may sometimes lie about what you actually had in the hand (the most important thing is that your opponents know this), which makes all his tweets about his hands pretty much unusable for information. Because assuming someone at his table is reading his tweets, once you start feeding misinformation into a poker player's Internal Bayesian Inference Engine, then he is going to have the wrong probabilities of what you play in his head. But the best option is to stay silent, because if you go with the above strategy, you now have to deal with figuring out whether or not your opponent has read your tweets, and whether or not he knows that you have fake hands in some of those tweets, because then that changes his playing style or the way you are perceived by him so you now have to start guessing whether or not he read your tweets. So yeah, stay silent.
