As retweets are such a basic feature for users, it is hard to understand how this question could not have come up before in designing of the limitations.
I suggest you add a switch to the api call w/o authentication, then the apps can decide what to do with this, as in once they are ready they can switch it on. As for the users, the suggestion can only be: do not use the retweet feature if you are interested in sharing information to your followers, as your retweets will not be seen elsewhere. [similar thing btw is going for the lists: tweet results for a list do not show retweets or replies - meaning you have to advise users not to use @reply at the beginning or the RT feature if they want their tweets seen] Nicole -- My german twitter site http://mit140zeichen.de - http://twitter.com/m140z Kontakt: http://twitter.com/NicoleSimon https://www.xing.com/profile/Nicole_Simon skype: nicole.simon / mailto:nicole.si...@mit140zeichen.de phone: +49 451 899 75 03 / mobile: +49 179 499 7076
