Well, that dont solve my problem! If I use user_timeline I will get only the tweets and the retweets done by me... I want that, but I want the tweets and the retweets done by my followers (and the ones I'm following) too.
Open the following options in different tabs in your browser (imagine your user is called XPTO): 1. login with XPTO account and go to http://twitter.com (this is home_timeline) 2. access http://twitter.com/XPTO (this is user_timeline) Can you see the differences now? Basically I want home_timeline, but with the retweeted_status property when is a retweet!
