I am using the following search query in my app but 9/10 times it returns results that are 40+ minutes old. Every once and a while it will return results up to the second. I am only making the request once a minute (via a cron job) and double checking that the next tweet I'm about to display has a time-stamp greater than the one I'm about to post. But this throws the whole thing out of whack when my first request pulls tweets from 20-30 seconds ago and then the next one pulls requests 20-30 MINTUES ago.
I'm absolutely beside myself as to why this is happening as I get the same results (sometimes old, sometimes new) when I do the request in my browser and just look at the returned xml. Here is the query I'm using: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?ors=relax+swim+summer+vacation+concert+drink+refreshing&lang=en&count=45 I've also tried using rpp=45 and since_id=<last_ID_pulled> but neither have produced results that are any more consistent. -Joel
