Title:
  Use twitter entities

Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Gwibber currently does some regex matching to make links out of
  twitter nicks, hashtags, grabbing urls for attachments, etc.  Twitter
  now provides some extra metadata in the entities API which means we
  can get all that data reliable without regex matching.  Enabling the
  use of entities in the API is optional now, but will be the default in
  the future.  I would rather switch to it now for 12.04 instead of
  doing an SRU to fix it later on.

  The results are significantly better and the switch also fixes several
  other bugs related to dupe matching and creating image previews for
  various linked media.
