Karthik,
I definitely think it's an interesting value to work with/report to a user
-- the number of retweets a given user has issued. Right now, there's no way
to get that info without manually counting them from the user_timeline for a
user. user_timeline typically goes back around 3200 tweets (+/- some
amount), so for users with less than 3200 tweets you could calculate the
total number of retweets pretty easily. Otherwise, you could just provide
the # of RTs in the period of time from point 0 to -1 of the entire
user_timeline.

IIRC Matt / Taylor have said that Twitter search typically only keeps
7 days worth of data for searching, so you can't go any further back
than that at the moment.

Hi,
Is there any way to get the Retweet count per user? i.e., number of
tweets
of a particular user that are Retweeted? Search api with 'RT @username'
gives the retweets but again its a only a few days of data.
Thanks
