When twitter is down (like right now) this module seems to freeze for a few
seconds when called in a website template.  CMSMS then returns the page to the
browser but the HTML stops at the point where the module should show the tweets.
This breaks the layout and creates an ugly mess - bad news for sites which have
a twitter feed in the side bar of each page.

Example site:
http://www.maidhouse.co.uk/blue-tit-cam/
(Twitter feed on right hand side)

To prevent this, is it possible to have a timeout so after 3(?) seconds the
module returns "DOWN" (or perhaps some configurable text) instead of freezing?

Thanks!
