If you are installing the Twitter application on Facebook:

http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/

You may be experiencing problems attaching the account. We're aware of the issue and are working on a fix. Until then, please try the following hack first:

  1. Remove the Twitter application in your "Application Settings".
  2. Reinstall the application by visiting the above URL.
  3. If you get a blank page, refresh the page a few times until the login screen pops up.
  4. Enter login info.
  5. Again, if you get a blank page, hit refresh a few times as well.

If none of these work, you may want to try an alternative app, called "Selective Twitter":
