This is a great improvement over the previous way. Is Twitter going to still merge retweets of the same tweet together in the website UI? I think merging is a good idea when a tweet is re-tweeted by multiple people in a short amount of time, but it causes problems with the temporal presentation of timelines. I would like my app to be consistent with the website, so more information about your plans for the website UI would be very helpful. How will this be encoded in in the home timeline XML/JSON?: A: hello, world B: RT @A hello, world C: RT @B RT @A hello, world D: RT @C RT @B RT @A hello, world Also, replies and re-tweet merging do not interact well with each other: what do you set in_reply_to_status_id to? In which timelines does a reply to a re-tweeted tweet show up in? Thanks, Brian
