Looks like it isn't a simple embed like Youtube or Vimeo, to do it in a more abstract way (i.e. so that you only have to paste in the twitter id) it has to make a call to a twitter API to get the HTML to show the tweet, and that's rate limited so we have to cache the responses which means database and programming. I looked and didn't see any plugins to do this for our version of vBulletin.
