Hi Matei, The simplest way to accomplish this would be a single GET request.
GET http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitterapi&count=1&include_rts=true If you weren't interested in processing retweets, you could omit the include_rts=true parameter, but I would bump the count to at least 5 since disincluded retweets still apply to the count parameter's calculations.
