Hi Alex, You're not going to be able to do that through the API (or anyone else)- it's a nice usecase, but allowing people to add tweets from 'back in time' would get very confusing, very quickly. Why not add a timestamp to the tweet body, to let people following know when it was written? Tom

John, Thanks for a quick and on the mark response. Your 10 minute window suggestion makes a lot of sense, and a maximum of 20 reconnects within that time should give us what we need for now. This approach does seem a little outside the 2 minute minimum reconnect period rule as in the API guide,

We break the status text into tokens by whitespace and punctuation, then apply the tokens to a hashmap of tracked terms. If the language doesn't have whitespace, the only thing that will match is the entire Tweet. I know that Search has struggled with this as well. I take it that the solutions

I think once the ad sharing platform is in place, you'll see more clever/recommendation apps around products and services. Being able to create/project a revenue stream, with low barrier to entry (simply tying into the ad platform like AdSense), seems like it would create a business-as-usual

Thanks, good feedback. Yep, it is always preferable to be explicit about specifying the intent. API versioning and explicit options are both good ways of doing that. The kerfuffle around the popular searches being injected happened exactly because there was previously no way to specify intent.
