> Sorry. It did work. There was a delay concerning the receipt of the messages. Both of your observations are correct, and coincide with my experience. When the message is posted, twhirl updates the timeline with the response from the Twitter API. All the messages returned, though, have an id of -1, so only the first is shown, all the next ones are identified as duplicated ones, judging from their ids. When twhirl does a full update by requesting the list of last messages in the timeline, these arrive with correct unique ids, so the timeline is updated. You'll notice, though, that the first posted message is duplicated twice- once with the -1 id, and a second time with the correct generated id. This is definitely undesirable behavior, so it won't stay like this for long.
