I've been creating causes to exercise BC, and one thing I always fall for is I copy and paste the URL for the cause's twitter account (http://twitter.com/#/CAUSE_NAME), and then I get an error message saying that Twitter usernames don't contain special characters, since all we're looking for is their Twitter username.

The twitter URL schema is super simple and highly unlikely to change, it would be a nice polish feature to just extract the twitter username from the URL in case that's what the user enters, and I don't see that would enable incorrect info or bad habits.
