Older twitter accounts used to use an older image hosting site called twitpic.com
Can we add support for that to the Twitter extractor?
An interesting note is that they used to allow only one direct image embed per tweet. So if you want to post multiple images, you need to type in the direct links into the tweet, but only one of the links would be embedded.
Example: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/112900228289540096
So other than checking the embed, we need to also check the contents of the tweet for twitpic.com links.
Support for TwitPic embeds is done (25d5ec4) and can be enabled with the twitter.twitpic option.
I just have some general questions about it, because I suspect this can be improved:
Is it possible to have a TwitPic image and "regular" Twitter images/videos in the same Tweet? The code is currently assuming that that's case, but could be simplified otherwise
Do you know a way to improve image quality/resolution by manipulating their URLs (*)? They have a /large/ segment in them, but the few things I've tried here only resulted in an error.
I've read that TwitPic has/had an API. Do you know if that's still available or is the only way to get a TwitPic image to visit its HTML website?

You also could embed the twitpic image directly without putting the twitpic link into your tweet's content. Not sure how they work:
