The User show API does not currently provide the URL of a Twitter
member's profile. I currently construct this link myself through:

"http://twitter.com/" + user.screen_name

I also know Twitter has a Japanese site, twitter.jp. I'm not sure if
this site is an isolated instance of Twitter (separate code base,
etc.) or if it's the preferred profile page of Twitter members in
Japan.

Is there a chance that a Japanese Twitter member's profile page
should be on twitter.jp and not twitter.com? Worried about hard-coding
values into my code.

All Twitter users exist across both domains; the .jp domain just
encourages our site to default to a Japanese localization.
