    Yeah, we see intermittent errors being thrown by Twitter's authentication service. We should handle these better with an explanation. Leaving this as "OPEN" until we do make a better error page, but you should definitely try again, as it should work.

    We have much better messaging in place to describe the problem you both were experiencing. Generally we discovered that the error is Twitter telling us the token is not valid (even though they just issued it). The error messaging is now much clearer and tells you to try again.
