Twitter Text autolinking and extraction for URLs, usernames, lists, and hashtags

Just integrating twitter into a client website. In the past I've just done some custom stuff and mixed in the standard auto_link helper. Discovered today this handy gem, and yes I know I'm probably late to the party.

Even better it appears that Twitter have the library for several different languages.
