Answer 1

This is a known issue, but it will not be corrected. Version 1.* of the Twitterizer library has been abandoned, since BASIC authentication will no longer be supported by Twitter after June (which means the version you have will no longer function).

Please download the beta of Twitterizer 2.

If you would prefer to fix the issue yourself, the problem relates to parsing profile color codes to int values. They should be changed to string values and not parsed.
