At first I thought it shouldn't be a related bug for the same reason you
stated. But it did happen the same day of "twitpocalypse"...it had never
happened before...so I thought it was related somehow.  But weird bug
aside I just got home and it's no longer sending double notifications
for directs.  I will refrain from filing another report and you
guys/gals can just ignore my first message.

have a good day...and I just wished I knew how to code to help out with
these sort of fixes...

** Description changed:

- After the 'twitpocolypse' the twitter plugin (an extremely popular and
+ After the 'twitpocalypse' the twitter plugin (an extremely popular and
  visible plugin) for GNOME Do is entirely broken. This is dude to integer
  overflow in twitter post ids, and has a simple fix of using a long
  instead of an int for the post id.
  
  TEST CASE:
  Reproducing this bug is very simple, try to post anything to twitter from 
GNOME Do.
  
  1. sudo aptitude install gnome-do gnome-do-plugins
  2. launch gnome-do
  3. enable microblogging plugin
  4. enter your twitter credentials in the microblogging configuration dialog
  5. Summon Do with <Super>space
  6. Type your message to post to twitter
  7. hit tab and search for "post to twitter"
  8. press enter to send message
  9. See failed message
  10. go to twitter.com and see that the message posted
  
  Although the post is successful, it reports a failure due to the XML reply 
reporting a negative post id from 32bit integer overflow. This negative post id 
also affects incoming messages and prevents them from being shown, so users are 
not receiving any timeline updates.
  All users are affected.
