since this bug was reported the title was different and did not reflect the exact error. so many people subscribed to this bug report might not be actually facing the same issue so a workaround to increase the timeout might work for some.

$ gksudo gedit /usr/share/pyshared/gwibber/microblog/network.py

and edit

self.curl.setopt(pycurl.TIMEOUT, 15)
    self.curl.setopt(pycurl.CONNECTTIMEOUT, 8)

           to

self.curl.setopt(pycurl.TIMEOUT, 50)
    self.curl.setopt(pycurl.CONNECTTIMEOUT, 25)

Your might even want to try a higher timeout in some cases.
