Comment(by nacin):

 The Twitter explosion potentially warrants its inclusion in core, but that
 filter was added in 2.9 and makes it extremely easy:

 {{{
 function add_twitter_as_contact_method( $user_contactmethods ) {
    return array_merge( $user_contactmethods, array( 'twitter' => 'Twitter'
 ) );
 }
 add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'add_twitter_as_contact_method' );
 ...
 the_author_meta('twitter');
 }}}
