Understood. Thanks. I want my new image to be displayed on Twitter
within
minutes after I upload them. Since Twitter doesn't allow URL to third
party
sites (a very bad idea, I agree), I am unable to do this via API. On
the other
hand, if I use the web browser to upload my profile image to Twitter,
it is
displayed as my avatar on my tweets page immediately.
