Twitter Node in Node-RED - no tweets in debug tab

I am new with bluemix and node red and wanted to start with a simple example. I have set up a simple flow. Twitter In node and debug node connected together. However although I have provided twitter credentials and also have defined the msg.payload within the debug node, I do not see any tweets in the debug tab. (I have deployed the nodes and my app is up and running).

What might be the reason for this?

Edit: I also see the behavior that following message occurs sometimes: Error: Lost connection to server

I've put the same details into a local copy of Node-RED everything looks all right.

What I think you are seeing here is the fact that the Twitter-in node uses the streaming API not the search API. This means you will only see new Tweets. A quick look at the A1Telekom account shows that it's only tweeted once since the 23rd July. Also there doesn't look to be a lot traffic from others mentioning them.

Also you will also only see tweets in the debug tab if you are connected to the Node-RED console so if new tweets arrive while your not connected then they will be processed by Node-RED but not displayed.
