Miguel, That's a pretty open ended question since it depends on the resource, and what you want to do with the user visiting the deleted resource.
You could throw a 301 Redirect [1] and send them to a new page with relevant material. or You could throw a 404 Not Found and explain that the page has been deleted. Either of these options is acceptable. I would suggest leaving the links in the tweets and use the opportunity to present other relevant material. Deleting the tweets seems like overkill.
