"Ok, I feel silly coming back to answer my own question, but I figured it out, for anyone who might want to use httpclient 4.x:
The important thing is that your HttpPost must use the BasicHttpParams and can’t have useExpectContinue set to true. This is what caused a 417 Expectation Failed response for me.

Like this:
// >> Set Hostname
hostname = “twitter.com”;
// >> HttpParams
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
// NOTE This following line cannot set true or you get error 417 Expectation Failed.
HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(params, false);
HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
standardHttpPostParams = params;
// >> AuthScope
authScope = new AuthScope(hostname, 80);
// >> Credentials
credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password);
// >> Client
client = new DefaultHttpClient(getStandardPostParams());
applyCredentials(client);"

Last week, I wrote about 10 Features That Will Make Twitter Better - the response was astounding and many people contributed their own ideas in the comments.

What became clear was the need to write a follow-up article that discusses even more user interface suggestions that can improve the Twitter web experience. To provide a well-rounded mix of ideas, the article would have to be from a combination of authors that contributed to one article.

What follows are ideas by ten professionals from different various spheres of expertise.

Twitter Search was a red hot topic last week, and will probably continue to heat up as Twitter usage grows beyond tech peeps and early adopters and penetrates the masses via Presidential Twittering, Rick Sanchez (@ricksanchezcnn) of CNN motivating his viewers to Twitter and other timely events like the baseball season, holidays and unfortunate events all result in the wildfire spread of Twittering.

Last year one of the interesting posts in TwiTip that really caught my attention was the post about how to turn a bedroom light on and off with Twitter.

In the comment, I hinted about how that hack works — after peeking at the source code. For most people, it appears like magic but really it is quite simple if you understand how different parts interact.

Once you are aware about how a typical system like this works, hopefully you can come up with more ideas to make use of the technology.

I guess everyone knows about TweetDeck by now, but in short it's an enhanced Twitter client that allows split your data stream into smaller pieces. Groups, searches and other goodies are a part of the main interface, making it easy to administer larger amounts of twitter data. While this is the strength of TweetDeck, it's in some ways also it's weakness. Compared to other clients it takes up a lot more screen estate, but the thing that bugged me most was that currently there is no real easy way to keep your groups and other settings synchronized between different installs on different computers. Maintaining your user groups etc. on a computer by computer basis just isn't fun.
