I've been using it for a few months on http://twequency.com and http://tweet1.com — works a treat. This service is also available through http://twivatar.org/ built by Remy Sharp.

Good to know about the POPs, guess you are keeping Chris busy with that one :) Hey Joe, thanks for stopping by. Good to know about the POPs, guess you are keeping Chris busy with that one :)

One thing to note is that the entire service is backed by Media Temple's top notch CDN service so images are cached throughout a large network of POPs (Point Of Presence) throughout the world. This means that your users in Japan hit an Asian POP for their avatars, while our friends in the UK hit a European POP. Good thing I got our API limit increased recently!

Would much rather write the little extra logic to use the Twitter API directly, not that their service is exactly reliable.

It's just awesome (except sometimes their caching system is acting like weird). A real gravatar for twitter! I used it on my latest twitter mashup.
