The code:

frtn=$(fortune tweets) #load up a fortune
IFS='@' #new IFS
arr=($frtn) #split fortune into array along IFS
tweet=$(tput setaf 3)"${arr[0]}"$(tput setaf default) #tweet - dark yellow color
uname=$(tput setaf 7)"@${arr[1]}\n"$(tput setaf default) #create @username - white
echo -e "$tweet$uname"; #to retain newlines in original fortune, echo between quotes
IFS=$OIFS #restore old IFS
Just copy paste that into your .bashrc file.
