Hi all, it is my understanding that retweets should show up in the Twitter Streaming API and especially the 'filter' Stream which I am using. My last discussion a few weeks (months) ago with a Twitter Dev confirmed that.
I am using the Twitter4J API which has support for the new new Retweet API, still I cannot seem to detect retweets when using the streams. Can someone confirm that retweets (and with that I mean the new retweet payload) makes it into the streams? ---- I'd also like to know what conventions are used for the backwar- compatible text Twitter is using. I saw that statuses which were retweeted result in the RT @username <text> in the Status itself which is great for backward compatibility. But what happens in case the original message was too long? Is twitter making an exception to the 140 characters in thsi case or just cutting the message? Thanx Sven
