Hi Andrew,
I recently added this as a beta feature on my random twitter utility
app on appengine, TwitterAvatar.appspot.com.

Andrew,
I'd email a...@twitter.com about getting whitelisted. If they deny it

AndrewI don't think you can do that. If that would have been the case, they
would have never put any restrictions.
