I'm using the twitter4j library to connect to twitter and have put in some sample code. I don't get any error messages, but keep getting connection timed out. I can log into twitter fine in my browser

Here's the code:

Twitter myTwitter;
void setup() {
myTwitter = new Twitter("facebook_is_pap", "********");
try {

   Query query = new Query("death");
   query.setRpp(100);
   QueryResult result = myTwitter.search(query);

   ArrayList tweets = (ArrayList) result.getTweets();

   for (int i = 0; i < tweets.size(); i++) {
     Tweet t = (Tweet) tweets.get(i);
     String user = t.getFromUser();
     String msg = t.getText();
     Date d = t.getCreatedAt();
     println("Tweet by " + user + " at " + d + ": " + msg);
   };

 }
 catch (TwitterException te) {
   println("Couldn't connect: " + te);
 };
};

void draw() {

};

Can anyone help? Don't think it's a coding problem, is the twitter api faulty with connecting?
