Hi, Alex. I have a interest about this topic.
You said "That limit will be lifted in the future". Which is means, 1. twitter stored all statuses more than 3200 posts or 2. now, twitter stored statuses and discard it more than 3200 Now, My friend want to get all statuses that was posted by him. (he has over 20,000 statuses since about a half year ago) So, I want to know "is it CAN or CANNOT in the future?" . I'm sorry for my poor english. I and my friends are enjoying Twitter! Thank you!
