If your application tries to update the status of the same account within a short period of time, Twitter will ignore the update. As the statuses/update method returns the status object, in the case where the message was ignored, the previously successful update (with the same) text will be returne

The API is not able to support retweets as a feature until the main Twitter.com site offers some notion of retweets as a feature. As evidenced by the recent shift from @replies to mentions, Twitter does listen to the users' behavior to drive site changes. We obviously recognize the large number of
