A telegram bot using https://github.com/vysheng/tg.

• When user sends image (png, jpg, jpeg) URL download and send it to origin.
• When user sends media (gif, mp4, pdf, etc.) URL download and send it to origin.
• When user sends twitter URL, send text and images to origin. Requieres OAuth Key.
• When user sends youtube URL, send to origin video image.
