Turning these two tables into entities would result in the following benefits:
* Fieldable entities, which make these two easy to be extended.
* Better views integration so a View of type Rendered Entity can be built in order to list Tweets along with other entity types (such as nodes).
* Better caching.
* Display control at the User Interface.

juampynr commentedFinally started working on this. So far I have created a new branch 7.x-6.x where I have defined the twitter_status and twiter_account entitites and the account listings are now using entity functions.

Submodules have not been updated yet.
