i don't think ridiculous is the right term :P we're constantly evolving
the API to match up with what our developers are trying to do!
so - that being said - what are you looking for? are you trying to figure
out which tweets on the home timeline has the authenticating user retweeted?

So, instead of 1, now I have to do 2 call (one for the home_timeline
and another for the retweets_of_me).
I started to understand the 'Tiwtter is over capacity' error!
...ridiculous...

I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the
API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you
retweeted.
I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a
retweet
if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from
seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your
followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it. However, I
guess it also stops you seeing that you have retweeted a tweet, as
theoretically you've already seen it.
I think I've made that more complicated than it actually is...
The only thing that you can do is to get the Home Timeline and then merge
retweets_of_me in over the top.

Can somebody help?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
For example, if account A has Account B as follower and vice-versa,
and if account A retweets tweet XPTO made by account B, shouldn't the
tweet XPTO appear with retweet_status property if we request the
home_timeline?
Please help,
Luis

Hello everybody,
I'm having a problem lately with the retweets. In the API
documentation and about the home_timeline says:
'Returns the 20 most recent statuses, including retweets, posted by
the authenticating user and that user's friends. This is the
equivalent of /timeline/home on the Web.'
The problem is, when I request the home_timeline, none of my tweets
have the 'retweeted_status' that should be present if it is a
retweet.
But if I request 'retweeted_by_me' I get all the information,
including the 'retweeted_status'.
Can someone tell me what's wrong? Something changed?
Thanks,
Luis
