Bug Description
01:08 <&marcog> tibid latest tweet from Scobleizer
01:08 < tibid> marcog: No such twit
but http://
Turns out the twitter API started stripping retweets [1]. Since the plugin limits the return count to 1, twitter's API wonderfully returns the latest 1 non-retweet tweets which equals the empty nothing when the last tweet was a retweet.

Marco and I discussed this. It seems that short of filing a bug in the twitter API (which doesn't appear to be doable) we should use the Atom feed, which doesn't strip retweets.
