With out on Views module, the Twitter module is not usable since no one can add a Twitter account, without which any tweets are not visible.

It took me a bit of poking around to realize this. I think having the dependency mentioned in the .info would indicate the required modules to users.

Here is a patch for that. Should be pretty straightforward - but it is out for review.

PS: I think Views UI module provides further functionality but that may be indicated in some admin pages (perhaps?)

The module is not dependent on Views. You can still post to Twitter when nodes are created. As I understand, Views is necessary to use the displays, which could probably use some improvement to document the fact, if not be a rebel and start implementing http://drupal.org/node/328932 with recommends[] = views in the .info.

Dave Reid - agree. Just got the explanation over IRC too. ;)

And with regards to the recommends[] - that is quite daunting for me. :P I will stick to documentation for now. Thanks!
