Hi everyone,
As of this morning (CEST) we started seeing some errors in our logs
due to User objects in status messages representing retweets being in
compact form (id only) e.g.
curl api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/25002162945.json | jeg -p
{
coordinates: null,
favorited: false,
self-reply: apparently, when asking the same status in XML format we
get all the fields, and other retweets seem to contain the full user
object, so this seems more of a glitch on twitter's side.
Again, if we have missed some change in the API spec, I'd be happy to
hear about it and I'm sorry for

You really shouldn't be planning for the case where every single Twitter

Large companies, and anyone who wants sustained access to high-volume

is unlikely for use-cases that are covered by the Streaming API.
