Native retweets are a new type of tweet, and do not show up as mentions. You
can cobble together an approximation using search, retweets_of_me, and
retweets that will get close, but I don't think you can be 100% sure to
catch all of them.

information and process it in our service.
The new retweet functionality somehow hides the retweets
