[twitter-dev] Re: retweets vs mentions
So basically statuses/retweet results are included in statuses/ mention ?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: retweets vs mentions
By definition, mentions would contain the retweets because retweets contain @username in them. Twitter changing the current mentions stream to explicitly remove retweets would break the current functionality not be backward compatibility. Maybe you could add a feature request for a second mentions stream that doesn't contain retweets maybe. It wouldn't fix retweets done manually though unless twitter adds tweet parsing magic.
