I've been using a tweet linkify() function that I wrote myself a
couple of years ago, and then rewrote to take advantage of entities
when they arrived. It works well about 98% of the time, but it still
chokes on some UTF8 characters, which causes URLs to be applied with
an incorrect offset of a few characters. Does anyone have a really
solid PHP entity linkifier set of code they recommend? Or is there one
hidden in the API that I never noticed?

BTW, did anyone notice that during Obama's townhall there was a tweet
that was displayed on the big screen that had an apostrophe
incorrectly garbled by UTF8? I loved it when @jack blamed it on the
tweet's author, saying something like "He entered it wrong".
