I get the same results for both links.

Thanks for your replies. I now also see the results I'd expect. Just to prove I'm not completely loopy, here's a screenshot of what I was seeing. You can see all the requests from user RetweetTestRecv included in the results there. When I hit refresh on the browser, it changed to being good results: http://sites.google.com/a/daveboden.com/home/twitterproblem Anyway, all's well that ends well. I'm going to add a double-check into my application to ignore this situation if it happens again; I'm guessing it's some kind of intermittent problem caused by the re- indexing of hashtags. Or something. :o) Cheers, Dave On Jul 7, 9:16 pm, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: Ditto.
