...an unused twitter account I need to read tweets embedded in the articles we have here.
___________________________
Never had a Twatter account and I read all the twaats posted here.
If it offers a *refresh* option, that has always worked for me or you can just refresh the page. If the T prompt says *try again*, just go back to the referring page and click again. (helps if you have links appear in another window.) 2nd click always works.
Some of the twitter threads cannot be read by non-twitterers.
I eventually threw up my hands and created a fake ID.
