Hi there...
I'm experience something strange, I think...
If I do a tweet destroy through my application and after that I get
the home_timeline with the property count=20, I'm not getting the 20
tweets that I should get. I'm getting just 19.
If I do another tweet destroy and execute home_timeline
Hi Luis,
I might be wrong there, but I think this is the way it works because of
twitter's caching and distribution architecture. You can never assume to get
the full amount of tweets or users - some might be filtered, deleted or
whatnot. If you need more, just get the next page/set using

another home_timeline call with page=2
I think this might work. The problem is, I need to do 2 call to

The count parameter means 'no more than', not 'exactly'. We do read-repair
on home timeline status_id-based vectors as we gather the statuses. It's not
practical to fan-out deletes to the materialized home timeline vector. In
nearly all display cases, displaying 19 or 20 tweets is equivalent. The

Setting up an open (or private) proxy in an attempt to get around our rate

This is quick and dirty and assumes that oauth_token and oauth_token_secret
are set in a session before you are redirected to twitter.com to authorize
the application.
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
$_SESSION['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret']);

This returns a nice valid XML like this:
