depends on:

• python-imaging (pil)
• “python-twitter”: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/

this is a django app, to find out how to use it, see http://www.djangoproject.com and do the tutorial and read the docs.
you will also need to put Verdana.ttf (install msttcorefonts) in /media/fonts/ (or edit twimage/views.py to point to your fonts directory)
also change the list of names in views._checkusername() (or just make the function return true)

quick TODO list:

• performance enhancing
• UTF-8
• make twitter logo transparent

notes for later:
to help with performance, use browser/django caching:

• set up an extra / to load specific status messages via id
• when base is requested, redirect to latest status message id
• caching should handle the rest (i.e. should see 302s being returned)
