I've been trying to extract mentions from some historical tweets I collected
(some a couple of years old) and as the mentions are textual, some of the
screen names have changed. Is there any way to look up a user id based on an
old screen name of that user? Does twitter even maintain that information?
Do the API methods for mentions simply extract possible mentions at posting
time or are they doing a textual lookup as well?

Thanks,
Daniel
