Open native Twitter App from my Application using IBAction

Question

I'd like to implement the natvie Twitter App into my iOS Application. I've already done that with Facebook by using the URL Schemes. But I weren't able to find such thing for Twitter.

For Facebook I used:

-(IBAction)facebook:(id)sender {
       [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://"]];
}

But when I try to use

@"Twitter" or @"twitter" or @"tw"

nothing happens. Would be great if you guys could help me out. I haven't found anything in the Interweb :/ If there is something just like it please :)

Thanks in advance :)

Nathans solution below will work, but I have to ask are you trying this on the simulator? It will only work on a real device with the twitter app installed. — Mick MacCallum, May 12 '12 at 12:28

Did you try:

twitter://

ex:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"twitter://user?screen_name=username"]];
