In order to find updates after a protected account's update, I am running the following query, setting since_id to the ID of that update.
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=to:simplytweet2&since_id=1297312280 The problem of course is that this query fails [1] since searching with a since_id value that points to an update not in the database always returns 404. This update is from a protected user, so it is not in the database. Is there anyway around this? I'm currently incrementing the since_id by 1 if I get a 404, but it looks like a patch.
