Holy cow, how did I not think of just using $post? Thank you so much for the help!
trojanloy, I hope you are still watching this thread, cause it sounds like you know more about this stuff than I do. If you go to http://dev.twitter.com/console and change the GET path to statuses/retweeted_by_me.json you can look at the response data. Notice that line 64 is in the top level of the hierarchy, called “text”, and contains the tweet with “RT @user:”. However, line 15 is one level deep, inside “retweeted_status” and contains the original text. Also notice all of the data inside “retweeted_status” is of the original tweet, which is what we (or at least I) want. Now since I know nothing about JSON, can anyone figure out how to change the association of the text field?
