If you don't care about your websites(eg. Hobby projects, projects that aren't doing well) or care a lot(eg. Your site is the next facebook) approach a Patent lawyer and have your site reviewed. If he/she finds something amiss, approach twitter and ask them if they are ok with your website. If your site infringes the patent and you don't care about your site and you do this, you end up helping people understand where twitter stands on the issue of patent abuse and trolling. If you care a lot about your website and you do this, you are safeguarding your interests.
However, if you care just enough for your website(eg. Your site makes enough money to pay for itself and then some), I would advice against approaching twitter. Chances are twitters lawyers will ask you to shut your project, if you approach. And if you don't, chances are your project might be small enough and remain unharmed(security by obscurity?) if twitter goes a-trolling.
