[twitter-dev] Re: Counting retweets
Retweet is not a top level feature for Twitter. People have suggestions for formats though [1]. A cleaver regex should help you parse if a tweet is a retweet. http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1hl=en#complete=1hl=enq=retweet+formataq=foq=aqi=fp=LH9toxtiWpk Thanks, Doug On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 9:56 AM, Scott Haneda talkli...@newgeo.com wrote: Is RT an official Twitter funtion or a community invented convention?

Good to know, thank you very much. Looks like, RT, Retweet, and Via are the most standard, and anything outside of that would be rather obscure.

[twitter-dev] Re: Counting retweets
I was playing around with retweeting and also found there is a pretty substantial amount of non crediting RT's. So if your trying to be scientific about the whole thing, you might want to search for the string. Just FYI.

More than that - if you're looking at retweeted URLs, you have to resolve shortened URLs to their original. Nick
