You have too many /'s, it should be:

twitter://user?screen_name=jessicaalba

have you done this? are you sure we can do this? In all the reference I see only Native apps can connect to other native apps. – Renuka Mar 29 '13 at 03:05
I have not personally tried it, but it seems that people have confirmed that it works. You should confirm that your iOS, Twitter app, and Safari app are updated to versions that support this scheme. – Tom Mar 29 '13 at 03:11
