You'll have to authenticate to use this call, but you don't have to authenticate as the user who posted the original tweet. Any valid user should do. Sent from mobile device On Nov 20, 2009, at 4:11 AM, "killyos...@gmail.com" > wrote: Is there a way to get at the retweets without enterin

I figured out what's happening. When "RT @thekabira" gets added to the front of the tweet, it makes the tweet text longer than 140 characters, so it then cuts off the rest of the tweet, which is what had "act" in it, so it never shows up through the streaming api tracking for anything with "act" i
