recent_tweet

description

Check the last time that TSN Tweeted.

purpose

Useful to determine how 'fresh' a given TSN account is; many twam accounts that have been abandoned by their owners but not explicitly deleted from Twitter will have a old last Tweets.

The flip-side is that highly active twam accounts will be graded with a 1 or 2 if Tweets (albeit spam-like) were recently posted.

Therefore, this module should be treated as more informational than a mechanism to accurately detect twam.

grading

GRADE 1 2 3 4 5
DESC 1 Day 1 Week 2 Weeks 3 Weeks 1 Month or more

Grade 1 is assigned if the TSN's last Tweet age is 1 Day or less, Grade 2 is returned if the last Tweet age is between 1 Day and 1 Week, and so on.

		<last_tweet_time>1267212195</last_tweet_time>

	<result>1</result> 
</recent_tweet>
