come with a request ID, or even an exact time stamp, which we could

Put a break point right after you send request to Twitter to get response
and see what is being returned. I have a feeling that you are running into
request rate limit. And the response you are getting back is not getting
translated to your collection objects.
Do you use any third party libraries
Nope. They only profile information that gets hyperlinked is the More Info

I agree with Chad: explicitly stating the source and target in the
