My suggestion to a transparent federation to # and the like.

This suggestion would allow users on !gnusocial to communicate with users on twitter without having an account on that network and also get replies from twitter users. It will also draw the external network users' attention to !gnusocial.

The solution is _a bot_ that will play the role of an intermediary jumping the walls and delivering messages from a network to another.

!gs would then use the bot to post to twitter if @user@twitter.com is mentioned or the bot itself @thetwitterbot@quitter.no and then the bot will post anything told to him via twitter inhere.
