Skimming Images From yFrog/TwitPic Tweets

Had a client request for Wiffiti that I’m surprised we hadn’t seen previously (at least not that I know of). Instead of just pulling in Flickr images, the client wanted to automatically display images posted to yFrog and TwitPic from relevant tweets.

Extremely simple solution that took me a bit to track down, simply because there were no explicit use cases coming up in my searches:
