In general I don't like performparentacripn. Mainly because ot can go
wrong if someone uses the widget and forgets to implement the method,
or the method isn't visible. I prefer delegates to sub in different
behavior.

What I was about to do is to use performParentAction so that the actual submit to Twitter is done in the parent. Why? Because you might need to do something else with the content, in my case I'm calling bit.ly API to transform any URLs found in the content to a shorter URL.
