I am wondering if the twitter API supports the following:
Whenever I make a post to my twitter account – it also calls a specific URL which I define so I can do something else?
Thanks very much,
Andy

It doesn’t look Twitter supports this in their current API, however it wouldn’t be difficult to create using a service which follows an RSS feed. In this case, you’d just have to wait for the RSS feed to update, and call whatever function you require.
E.g. http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/24671335.rss
If you can’t run the service yourself, you could just create a web service and host it on AppEngine or Heroku — depending on your language preference of Python or Ruby, respectively.
