Comment(by mrada@…):

 This is a duplicate of another issue that I can't track down right now.
 The main problem here is that the twitter gem is very explicitly relying
 on the json gem and there is an incompatibility with the json gem and
 MacRuby (which is documented in the ticket that I cannot find).

 Internal to MacRuby we have worked around the issue, so if you load json
 first it should load the version that comes with MacRuby, and then twitter
 will hopefully use it and not have any issues. Though this is just a work
 around. Another solution would be for the twitter gem to use multi_json as
 an abstraction instead of json.
