I'm trying to get the last tweet from the people I follow using the twitter api (http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends.json&screen_name=[username]), but I noticed that if the user's last tweet is a retweet, the json data does not contain a "status" element.

Using the "user timeline" api does not work either, the last tweet is the last non retweeted tweet.

Is there a way to get the real last status, even if it's a RT, through the twitter API?
