Revisiting this topic because after trying various solutions for retrieving and saving followers' avatars, I finally stumbled onto this topic (when the topic was new I didn't know it would be important to me later, lol) and found that Raffi's post, combined with this: http://nadeausoftware.com/articles/2007/06/php_tip_how_get_web_page_using_curl grabs the avatars more expediently than anything else I've tried. BTW--just want to say how much I enjoy participating in this community. I'm often a bit wary of posting for fear of looking stupid, but perhaps if I occasionally make myself look really clueless, then it gives courage to others who may be equally cautious, but will see that they couldn't possibly look more clueless than moi. Thanks to the Twitter development team and to everyone else here who shares. It isn't just about getting things done, it is about the fun of a shared interest, and the excitement of being part of something important. Lil
