Gwibber does NOT work with twitter anymore as Twitter abandoned their v1 api.

On Ubuntu 12.04 gwibber (3.4.2) still uses twitter api v1. This can be confirmed by running following commands:

cat /usr/share/gwibber/plugins/twitter/__init__.py | grep 'API_PREFIX ='
API_PREFIX = "https://api.twitter.com/1"

On twitter developer page it says:
"Authenticated & unauthenticated requests to api.twitter.com/1/* will receive HTTP 410 Gone. Use API v1.1 instead."

Hence it is unable to receive any twitter feed.
