Exact dupes sent via the API are dropped. I believe that it's intended to prevent runaway apps from posting the same thing over and over (say if an app had a bug...nevar!). This feature actually saved my bacon once. It's not new, though. It's been that way for at least 18 months. -damon -- http://twitter.com/damon On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 6:27 AM, ryan alford ryanalford...@gmail.com wrote: Twitter recently implemented logic to stop the ability of duplicate tweets.

That is not the full definition, or at least it wasn't around two weeks ago when I first noticed it. Once tweet1 has been sent, any attempt to send tweet1 again within the next hour (probably longer, but I have not attempted to determine the upper bound) will fail, regardless of how many additional updates have been sent during that time. rv1 = send_tweet(tweet1); # OK rv2 = send_tweet(tweet2); # OK ... rv100 = send_tweet(tweet100); # OK rv101 = send_tweet(tweet1); # Fails, if within some unknown time limit -- Dave Sherohman

So it only look at the previous tweet from that user? Or the previous tweet send by your application (via the API) for that user? So for example: If you have 2 static messages A and B, and your app posts tweet A, B, A, B, A, B, ... it shouldn't be a problem? My webapp can tweet 2 static tweets (per user) when an event occurred. Something like an alert/notification system that can optional tweet a message for the followers. I noticed that my tweets aren't post successfully (I'm speaking about 2-3 tweets per month per user, so no high number). I found this thread and I read that you can't post duplicated tweets, quite stupid since my users can enter a custom message, so this message will be static. At the moment, as temporally fix, I add a random and unique string to the end of the tweet, just to be strange my tweet will be post successfully, but this isn't nice...

There was some talk recently about Twitter blocking consecutive tweets that are identical. With some of the reasoning that duplicate tweets are a violation of the terms of service.
