Seeing exactly the same thing.
Perhaps the reason is: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/24239
Restricting api.twitter.com to SSL/TLS traffic
Ok it is.
I have just change all api-URLs tp https and now it’s working.
Workaround till an update is comming:
edit the wp-twitter/modules/p1/oauth-twitter.php file an add an s to the http(s):// URLS:
define( ….. ‘https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token’ );
define( ….. ‘https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token’ );
define( ….. ‘https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize’ );
define( ….. ‘https://twitter.com/’ );
And
$url = ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json’;
in the update function.

version 4.2
*Fix [Restricting api.twitter.com to SSL/TLS traffic]
Sadly not working on version 3.5.1 as the whole of the authentication box is missing from the settings page.
The error shown is:
‘Not able to validate access to account, Twitter is currently unavailable. Try checking again in a couple of minutes.’
