Hi Andrew, Sorry i am fairly new to twitter development and i have looked on the api doc's but cannot find out how to add a unique sequence ID would you be able to point me to the place i need to look?

Hi Damon, It is strage as if i post a message from twitter.com itself i can for example post test, then test again straight after. is it a constraint the API enforces?

I think the limit is only on the API. I suppose there are/were conditions where duplicates would get posted, and this prevents that from happening. Easiest thing to do: Have your program put a timestamp in the message, so instead of You have a new update, put 11:57:01 You have a new update
