I'm creating a Java app that updates my Twitter account's status on a
certain event. I'm able to update the status once (i.e. "Hello
World!"), but when I submit subsequent statuses with the identical
text, my Twitter feed does not get updated When I change the text
slightly ("Hello World 2!"), the update does get added to my stream.
I am receiving HTTP response code 200's on all my requests. I also
tested whether it was a frequency limit, but I'm able to update unique
statuses in fairly rapid succession (i.e. 2 or 3 within ten seconds).
Does Twitter ignore subsequent identical posts? The API doc doesn't
mention this. I'm not setting a "in_reply_to_status_id" parameter or
anything. Would that help? I'd prefer not to do that because I
haven't been able to parse the content of the request other than the
response codes.
