regarding the twitter vs facebook issue, checking the network panel on chrome, the rest of the request are pending and checking one of the requested url (https://api.github.com/repos/twitter/twitter4j/commits)

the error message is:

{ "message": "API Rate Limit Exceeded for 112.199.99.5" }

In the code, if you look, I actually extend that rate limit to 5000 by using authenticated requests (on the client side, I know, this is "dangerous"). The problem is that it just takes a long long time, lots of request (~400 for Facebook alone), which gradually slow down as the browser gets overloaded.
