Easily link the contents of any entity within a Tweet from the Twitter API.

Tweemat is a lightweight script that takes any entity from a Twitter API timeline and nicely formats it for the web. From the plain text contents of tweet's text, it will find all mentions of users, media, links, and hashtags and replace them with their proper links and display URLs. Tweemat is capable of being used within Node.JS, AMD, or the browser.
