Twitter does not handle classic retweets any different from standard tweets.
They have no representation of being a retweet other then containing the
originators name and showing up as a mention. As such they will not show up
in any of the retweet API methods unless someone natively retweets them.
with the new retweet mechanism i can retweet a tweet my friends have
retweeted and i believe it shows up as a retweet of that original
tweet.
but with the old RT @xxx convention for retweeting, i could retweet a
retweet like so: RT @ RT @
in that case, does my retweet show up as a re
the various API calls that return retweets (or retweeters) of tweets
-- do those include both the new style retweet and the old RT @
convention?
