Re: Subsequent identical messages ignored?
No documentation update yet...can you please just tell me what the subsequent update limit is so I can update my code to prevent redundant posts? In the meantime I'm going to limit identical posts to no more than one a minute. (Don't worry, I don't expect the app to update nearly that often...but it may happen while testing.)

Re: Subsequent identical messages ignored?
I've updated the docs. There's no limit per se, we just discard statuses with text that are identical to the updating user's current status text. So, don't post foo bar baz twice in a row, as it's not guaranteed to post.

Subsequent identical messages ignored?
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.
