I just double-checked my profile page, and there is no blank for a Twitter account. How did you scrub the profile field to detect such accounts? (Mine’s the same username between HN, Twitter, and Reddit, among others.)

I just made a bunch of regular expressions that capture phrases like "
http://twitter.com/foobar
or "I'm @foobar on twitter", etc.
