There's no API method, and no data returned in any of the user calls.
If you can regularly retrieve a user's followers you can intuit when (say if
you retrieve daily), otherwise there's no way.

Why are you setting the timestamp for 3 hours in the future?
oAuth/twitter are very picky about the time being "close" to accurate,
being 3 hours off is definitely one potential problem with your code.

Note that that only counts tweets still in twitter’s database. If a

The streaming API transmits in chunked encoding, it sounds like you
are consuming it raw.

When in_reply_to_status_id was originally added you could "reply" to a
tweet without including the @username in the tweet, and twitter would
accept that (and thread that) as a proper reply. On the one hand this

Is there a target for the contributions API opening up? Alternately is
there a document somewhere laying out who you need to be / how much it
costs to utilize the contributions API?

The web ui for “local trends near you” asks users to select a
geographic area. Is this solely a web UI thing or will this location
be available in a user’s profile? If it’s in a user’s profile, would
it be a WOEID, something under the existing element or
something else entirely?
