[twitter-dev] What You Put In Not The Same As What You Get Back Out
When uploading a background image, the image contents seems to get modified. Seems like I should be able to do an MD5 sum on the file before it is uploaded, upload the image to Twitter, and when I download the image do another MD5 sum and the two should be the same. But they aren't. Why? -- Kyle Mulka Founder, Congo Labs http://twilk.com

Twitter has to host those files. Pure guess here but like thunbnails, it's not completely unresonable that they maybe want to optimize them for size to save a few dollars on the hosting bills.

we run all upcoming images through a few filters to make sure nothing malicious is occurring before we save them to disk.
