Copy link

Current code uses urllib2 to follow t.co links. This is time consuming and error prone.

As Twitter API Docs specifies, the returned data of user_timeline contains expanded_url value, which consists of original links before t.co shortens them.

Please considering using them directly instead of following them with urllib2.

Thanks for your great work!
