   trim_add_elipsis($tweet->tw_text, 30)

   why?! it makes the titles ugly and unhelpful. this should atleast be a user defined value, no?

   it should probably also use a simple regex to strip urls out of the title if there is enough regular text.

   Agreed. I cobbled this together from some other code I found lying around. Set $length to whatever you wish... it shouldn't break words.

   $length = 60; $replacer = '...';
   		if(strlen($tweet->tw_text) > $length) {
   			$tw_text = (preg_match('/^(.*)\W.*$/', substr($tweet->tw_text, 0, $length+1), $matches) ? $matches[1] : substr($tweet->tw_text, 0, $length)) . $replacer; } else {
   			$tw_text = $tweet->tw_text;
   		}
   		$data = array(
   			'post_content' => $wpdb->escape(aktt_make_clickable($tweet->tw_text))
   			, 'post_title' => $wpdb->escape($tw_text)
   			, 'post_date' => get_date_from_gmt(date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $tweet->tw_created_at))
   			, 'post_category' => array($this->blog_post_category)
   			, 'post_status' => 'publish'
   			, 'post_author' => $wpdb->escape($this->blog_post_author)
   		);
