Python on maemo doesn't support the offset notation (+0000) in it's timestamp parsing. there are libraries that would, but I'd have to bring a whole new library onto maemo which I didn't want to do.
Turns out there are at least 3 different formats of timestamp that twitter might return, depending on your location and the API call.
I think they all now work.

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
