You certainly can, if you want, but my point is not to rely on this. Twitter may disable the ability to delete if they're running behind, and some clients will cache the tweets even after you've deleted them. You're still going to have to account for the case of bogus articles getting referenced, and you do not have the guarantee that a deleted tweet is not out there somewhere. (In fact, it probably *is* out there somewhere.) > So basically I would do the following: > 1.

You know what your article ID is, so you make a new post, and in your database (presumably using article ID as the key) you update that entry with the new tweet ID. You can't update the old tweet. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- Males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes. -- Newt Gingrich
