Urls are not clickable ie converted to <a href="">

[David Rubin]

Pages like http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/374/detail/ that contain urls it is very hard (in the web2.0 world) to explain why users can't click on the urls.

Seems like a simple fix would be do do
import re
myString = "This is my tweet check it out http://tinyurl.com/blah"
r = re.compile(r"(http://[^ ]+)")
print r.sub(r'<a href="\1">\1</a>', myString)

From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/720113/find-hyperlinks-in-text-using-python-twitter-related
Just before displaying the text (after it has been escaped for other injections)

Seems easy to implement and only a minor view change so we can remove it at any point.

That fix is much better then my suggestion.
