twitter have changed their login authorization, and many clients have not 
caught up yet. It has been called somewhere the "OAuth Apocalypse" :)

you will need to find a client that has been updated to use the OAuth system

latest official release in a ppa yet, but I have been using this one which has 
been working fine

this repo requires  you have KDE 4.5 installed, though.

others have been using the above repo as well, not sure i it needs a specific 
KDE version or not
