So what's the right way to get user profile image?

 Every image you load using this method counts as 1 API request. So, yes,
 that's bad.

  Hi all,

  I have a page in which there is a listing of past tweets. In this
  page, I want to display the author's profile image next to the tweet.
  I've come across the following:
 http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/profile_image/:screen_name

  My question is, is it wrong to use this as the src within an img tag?
  I raise the above question because of the following mentioned on that
  page:
  This method should only be used by application developers to lookup
  or check the profile image URL for a user. This method must not be
  used as the image source URL presented to users of your application.

  Thank you for your help.

  Cheers,
  Jayawi~

Wow!  Thank you all for the responses.  That was fast.  @Peter Denton
I really appreciate your reply.  It was very informative.  I'm going
to use that but with PHP to store the user's profile image URL.  Thank
you all again.
