Sounds like a HOAX, there are many legal consequences for the requesters.
Like to be read here.
In case you want to be prepared have your ISP's alerted so they have guys in place to divert wrongly traffic and also have your firewall guys be ready to divert the traffic.
If directed directly to you and diverted in time not much will happen. Else it will affect all behind the internet tunnel.
If twitter is targeted i expect they will divert and filter.

:) your twitter users will tell you. Another way is to configure a workstation as a proxy and setup your Phone to connect through that proxy.
Once connected, start wireshark on the PC, sent some tweets to the account on your Phone and look in wireshark where the data came from. This IP adress should give you an idea on how to divert data overflow from and yes divert into the big black hole we call drop.
