The latest tweet in the timeline is shown at the top-right of the chat tab (under "@<twitter-account> timeline").

However, it doesn't resolve HTML entities such as &gt; to Unicode characters. I.e., "foo > bar" is shown as "foo &gt; bar" there.
It seems we forgot to unescape the HTML entities before setting the topic when sending a tweet.

This looks fine, did we verify that we should be sending the entities to Twitter? (I vaguely recall we're supposed to, but just wanted to check!)
