Same goes for Twitter, you can bypass the OAuth by constructing a URL string. 
This is snipped form Twitter Docs 
GET users/profile_image/:screen_name

GET users/profile_image/:screen_name is an API method that allows you to do an 
ad-hoc lookup for various image sizes of the avatar, including the original. 
It's a rate limited method, so you can't use it liberally.

So http://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image?screen_name=usefulDesign

Returns URL http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/842680915/Image-08_normal.jpg 

You can construct a string for either the first URL (or second if you know the 
ID in advance).
