John,
thanx for your comment over at groovyconsole.appspot.com -

In case you do not get updates on comments there, let me ask my main
question again. This would make my (our) lives a lot easier when it
comes to retweet tracking, still it
I'll update the Wiki to reflect the new reality.
Retweets will begin to flow through all /1/statuses/* resources soon
-- in advance of the full retweet launch. This will give developers
time to test and deploy features in advance. Also, the retweet volume
is very low now, so exceptions should be
I'm seeing retweet_details information appearing in the payload of the
statuses/show call. Is this normal behavior?

Thanks - Martin

From a developer perspective I love the retweet API and it's potential
uses.

I think the new RT API is an attempt to turn related tweets into a
computer-parseable conversation. Humans can fairly easily determine
what it part of an existing conversation by reading the different tweets
and using contextual clues, but computers cannot.
The small benefit to us humans is
One reason for example is being on Google App Engine and having a 30
second limit. I cannot keep the connection open.
Another reason is I am not interested in everyones retweets, just the
retweets (and in this case all, not just a sample) of that twitter
user's friends.
What do you think?
Is there a way to connect to the streaming api and only get my friends
retweets? Or would I get *everyones* retweets and have to filter
millions of unwanted messages out?

Retweets will be searched by the follow parameter on the filter
resource. The intention is that you get all statuses (including
retweets) where any user_id field matches your predicate list. So,
tweets, replies and both ends of retweets.
If GAE cuts you off after 30 seconds, then you shouldn't
Thanx, I'll give that a try.

I am still hoping for an answer to the questions in this thread, but
meanwhile here is another idea the Twitter Team might find
interesting.
As it seems many of us want to track retweets. What we are really
interested in is the number of retweets over time so we can find
trending topics, in my
Retweet aggregators should use the Streaming API /1/statuses/sample
method to gather a sample of Retweets or apply for the full Retweet
stream on /1/statuses/retweet.
The Streaming API may be in Alpha, but the service has been very
reliable.
I'm unaware of any technical issues that would block

Asking developers to collapse retweets in timelines is onerous,
complicated and confusing. We're not going to do it that way. We are

Excactly, my main point, too.
The problem is I want to track how tweets 'develop' over time. This
means I would need to pull the status/retweets every minute or so for
every tweet I am tracking. There is a 150 api call limit currently...
without whitelisting I will be doomed.
