[twitter-dev] Public Timeline - Duplicate Status IDs

2010-04-24 Thread mattarnold1977
I posted this issue a couple of days ago when I noticed my logs
reporting duplicate status IDs from the public timeline.  I haven't
heard back from Twitter support, so I wanted to post another message
out there.  Perhaps someone else is experiencing this issue.

I checked and it looks like around 8:54 PM on 4-19-10 Twitter's status
IDs from the public timeline started reporting differently.  Typically
status IDs look something like this 12475374318, but now they all
have zeros at the end like this 1247538.  I thought this had
something to do with the upcoming change to the way status ids were
being generated.  But Taylor from Twitter support said that change
hasn't been implemented yet.  My log is filling up with duplicate ID
messages, so I'm hoping that someone out there knows what is going
on.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Matt

hi matt.

it seems like you are asking about two things here.

1. the status IDs on the public timeline have zeros on the end -- that's
because we have a really simple algorithm picking statuses that go into the
public_timeline

2. between subsequent calls to the public timeline, even after the caching
period, you are seeing duplicate statuses.

so, for #2, are you seeing new statuses also?
