You can't add a hyperlink to a word in Twitter. It turns HTML into text. If you put http://yoursite.com as text into a tweet, it will be made a link automatically. But if you put <a href="http://yoursite.com">hello</a> into a tweet, the HTML will be displayed as text.

This is true on the site and through the API.
