Description Scott Lewis

The TwitterRemoteServiceTest is failing in automated builds...apparently because of some issue with accessing the twitter API/service (possibly authentication/account in automated test environment, perhaps something changed in twitter service, etc).  

For an example of the test failures, see

Would like to address for/before ECF 3.4.

Hi, it seems that Twitter has removed its basic authentication per august 18, 2010. see http://apiwiki.twitter.com/

I'm investigating what this means for the REST call in the test.

Fixed by making the test class abstract.  Released to master.
