The twitter portlet uses this incorrect (deprecated, no longer supported) prefix:

	private static final String _URL =
		"http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/";

This causes tweets to not show up in the activities stream.

It needs to be udpated to use this:

        private static final String _URL =
                "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/";
