[request] Auto-linking urls

I’m looking for a plugin that will find urls convert them into links— like this:

Before:

http://google.com/

After:

<a href="http://google.com/">http://google.com/</a>

I thought I saw something like this before, but I can’t find it.

I’d like to use this in tendem with some kind of Twitter badge, so that urls posted on Twitter will be turned into links automatically. It would be nice, though not essential, if the plugin could also parse @username values into anchors as well, linking usernames to Twitter URLs, like so:

@<a href="http://twitter.com/johnstephens">johnstephens</a>

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
