_twitter_status_id: Contains the integer ID of the status update.
_twitter_status_truncated: Contains a Boolean string indicating whether or not the status update had to be trimmed to 140 characters.
Error
If a status update could not be sent, the feature will be output through the Error output port, and will have the following new attributes:
_twitter_response: If a response was received from the Twitter server, it will be stored in this attribute.
_twitter_error: If the Twitter response contained an error message, it will be stored in this attribute.
