I've also noticed issues with since_id on multiple API calls. The docs state for since_id... "If the limit of Tweets has occured since the since_id, the since_id will be forced to the oldest ID available. " I've found this to not be true and many methods return the newest Tweets. Rhys On Jul 29

[twitter-dev] GET LIST Subscribers method

Just thought I'd point this out. I spotted that the GET List subscriber method was just returning user information of the individual who created the list. As it turns out I was doing a POST, not a GET as specified in the docs. As soon as I changed it to a GET I got back what I was expecting. A few

I think it's important to make the distinction between marketing activity and actual spamming. This type of request is part of what makes Twitter attractive to people and organisations. I think it is acceptable within (low) limits and hopefully Twitter will implement some user controls on this.

HI, I've recently noticed that calls to the rate_limit_status seem to extend my reset time by exactly one hour after I have hit the 100 request limit. For example if I hit my 100 limit at 4:00 PM then the reset time is 5:00PM. If I check this at 4:45PM it then states the reset time is 5:45PM. It
