Am I the only one who has found retweeted_status to be very
unreliable?

I have a constant streaming API connection, and the majority of tweets
that
are retweets (and are displayed as such on the web), have empty
retweeted_status values.

Example:

http://twitter.com/Mobieleeenheid  - The retweet of TMobile_NL
starting with "Vanaf vandaag"

Coming from the API, after json_decode() in PHP:


Array

MobileNavigator app van Navigon voor alle iPhone klanten van T-Mobile
