Changing this line:
'/(#[a-z1-9_]+)/i');
… to this:
'/#([a-z1-9_]+)/i');

And this line:
'<a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=$1" rel="nofollow">$1</a>');
… to this:
'<a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23$1" rel="nofollow">#$1</a>');

… will increase compatibility with the Google Chrome browser.

Padding IDs to an equal length ensures that alphabetical sorting works as expected.

The intval() function will overflow and always returns 2147483647 once Twitter message IDs have exceeded this number (which they have). Because of this, the elements in the $updates[] array will continually overwrite themselves because they are all using the same index. It has been suggested on php.net that using the addition operator to convert the string can get around this, for example: $num = '100000000000 ' + 0; I have not thoroughly tested this myself but it seems to work.
