 * This isn’t an issue, it’s just mysql throwing the error.
 * Used to be, Twitter Tools would grab duplicate tweets in the DB, and you’d end
   up with crap in there several times. To fix it, Alex just turned on the unique
   value for the tweet ID, so it throws this error whenever it tries to put in the
   same tweet again.
 * While not the cleanest want to do it, it was the easiest. =/ You can safely ignore
   the error… as annoying as it is.
