Answer 1

This is an error in twitters response. Because the two last updates by the user goelalifest are retweets and the method "statuses/user_timeline" you are using is set to strip out retweets if calling in xml or json format the two first responses are empty. This is a bug and should be fixed by twitter.

A temporary fix would be to set the count parameter to three, so that the response would contain one update. So change

<script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/bingkwo.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=1" type="text/javascript"></script>

to

<script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/goelalifest.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=3" type="text/javascript"></script>
