I would just make a request to Twitter for the profile on build for the two sites. Do you expect to update your profile more frequently than your two sites? ISTM, you can just trigger manual builds when you do update your profile, instead of using a function, which is going to constantly be looking up and returning the same information.

Hey, and yes that would also work, as you say, for profile information that doesn't change that often it would perhaps be the better option. However, since this is a tutorial blog post it's aim was to inform readers of "one" way you can use Twitter as a CMS. There are of course many other ways to achieve this.
