[twitter-dev] Re: flagged as dupe post when string is unique (ideas?)
as noted by other people on this list, twitter is currently rejecting tweets that match either your last update, or an update you recently sent. unfortunately, the API is currently silently failing but it is on the short list to have the API return an error code instead. Can you confirm what match means? Is it same character sequence or is it similar character sequence? I ask because John Kalucki wrote Is the posted status similar to any other status created by that user? above in response to a question about duplicate rejection.

Please don't tell me that you're now rejecting similar tweets Url shorteners can easily generate similar urls, so if someone is in the habit of tweeting check this out followed by a shortened url, the tweet text is likely to be similar even though the actual url is different. Heck, urls that are similar often point to very different web pages. There are lots of other cases where similar tweets can actually be very different, and thus should not be rejected as duplicates.
