My guess is that you're not building an extension for twitter that will run on their site, so you're violating the cross domain request rule. You cannot directly request from twitter.com, you'd have to proxy through a page on your site (some page that forwarded this request to twitter and returned the same result) or you can use jsonp to achieve the same effect, which is probably what you're looking for. Hopefully this will help you.
