Twitter links no longer work in "new Twitter" #65

Twitter currently advertises "Sneak a peek at the new Twitter" on its home page, giving its users the opportunity to try out their new layout.

As soon as a user activates it, the embetty-generated links in the form of

https://twitter.com/statuses/<tweet-id>

no longer work; they lead to a "Page not found" error on Twitter's site.

I have found that the link form of

https://twitter.com/<username>/status/<tweet-id>

seems to work in both "new Twitter" as well as in "legacy Twitter" (as Twitter calls it), so it might be a good idea to change the format returned by twitterUrl(). That format is the same that Twitter itself provides through its "Copy link to tweet" functionality so I regard it as official and stable.

Just gonna mention that the new twitter is rolled out now and this is still not fixed, so now all websites using this have broken links, might be about time to get this merged
