Speaking for TTYtter only, while I'll support receiving retweets, I am unhappy with the API as it currently exists and retweets received will be canonized into the older format (and retweets sent will be done programmatically in the older fashion instead of through the retweet methods). I suspect there are other app authors who will also do something similar. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned. -- Milton Freedman ------------
