Hi all,

this questions might have been asked already, but a quick search in
this mailing list did not lead me to a clear response... so I
apologize if this topic was discussed in detail already.

My question:

- if a tweet is retweeted several timese, e.g. tweet X is retweeted by
my friend A and my friend B, it is likely these retweets are not
taking place the same time.

- my assumption and question is if the 2 retweets in this case show up
as two tweets in the home timeline. What troubles me is how I can
detect that a tweet was retweeted. I intend to save the last pulled
statusId and then just pull tweets from the home_timeline from the
last statusId. I hope to get the 'new retweets' as they happen as new
people are retweeting. If the api will aggregate the retweets under
the stausId of the original message, I will not be updated of new
retweets in this case. On the other side, if a new retweet will add
the original status a second time (possibly with the new total
retweets, e.g. several retweet_details) then I track the retweet
count.

What do you think?

Cheers
Sven
