Review request for Choqok.


Repository: choqok


Description
-------

For "Posts from $USER", Choqok should use Twitter's "statuses/user_timeline.json" API instead of the "search/tweets.json" API it uses for everything else. The reason for this is that the search API is not exhaustive (i.e. it does not necessarily return ALL tweets by a user) and will, in any case, only return tweets that are 7 days old (or newer). The "statuses/user_timeline.json" API returns up to 3,200 tweets of any age.

Testing
-------

Compiles and works for me, although I have only tested it briefly in this "modular" form. Testing it is rather hard because it is impossible to browse pages/display older tweets, so you have to test it with an account that has tweeted less than 100 times (max. number of results) in the last 7 days (to see if it will display older tweets).
