My answer to Is Twitter using its public api for its own website? on Quora
You can use Firebug or the Chrome network inspector to answer this question for yourself. They used to use the API for pretty much all of the site, but I think they're backing off that a little know heat they serve real pages with real URLs for things like individual profile pages.
