[BNM] For the Twitter app developers

[Remy Sharp]

Hi Brightonains,

I thought it might be worthy of sharing - I wrote a little tool this  
Sunday that gives you a RESTful API to Twitter avatars to solve the  
issue of the avatar url expiring when the user changes their avatar on  
Twitter.

The app url is: http://twivatar.org

and can be used as:

Hopefully it'll fix some of the broken avatars in our apps without  
having to constantly hit Twitter (note that the app is whitelisted, so  
it shouldn't fail due to limits).

The code's up on GitHub too if you want to have a play: http://github.com/remy/twivatar/

Hopefully it's useful to some.

Cheers,

Remy Sharp
