A Twitter client is what I had in mind when I specified that the API
should let applications attach a count to the application item itself
(like the "GMail Notify" item shown in the
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu> wireframe), as an alternative to
having separate message sources.

So if you have only one account, the application needs only one item in
the menu:

    |-------------------------|
    |  () Pino           [14] |
    |-------------------------|

If there are multiple accounts, then it might show a separate item for
each account:

    |---------------------------------------|
    |  () Pino                              |
    |     mpt (Twitter)                [14] |
    |     ubuntudesigners (Twitter)   [106] |
    |     ubuntudesigners (Identica)   [19] |
    |---------------------------------------|

It might also have separate items for @replies, direct messages, etc.
