I don't recall being asked to verify anything either. But when I posted a new thread to a twitter enabled forum, and logged into my forum's Twitter account, there was the message waiting to be tweeted. I did so manually. All subsequent twits have gone out automatically.

I don't think there's a lot of delay twitting, but I bet most readers are set to only retrieve tweets every x minutes. In fact, I think Twitter puts a hard limit on updates of something like 150/hr.
