In my application I have the internal integer ID of a Twitter user and I want to provide a link to their Twitter page, e.g. I have an ID of 123456 for the Twitter account http://twitter.com/thisisanexample and I want to provide a link that resolves to the Twitter account page using the ID.

I know I could query Twitter’s web services using the ID and get the screen name but I’d rather not if possible.

Does anyone know if Twitter provides a URL that takes the internal integer ID of the user and redirects to the normal user Twitter profile?
