Twitter API not showing Retweets FIX... that actually works this time!!!

We previously had the following code on a site to show the latest twitter post:

<_script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<_script type="text/javascript" src=http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1&include_rts=true&screen_name=OURSCREENNAME"></script>

(remove _ from tagname!)

This worked fine, apart from if we posted a retweet - in which case, we just got an empty response from the API.

It turns out that the URL we were using, was for an older version of the API - updating to the newer version of the API fixed this issue:

<_script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<_script type="text/javascript" src=http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1&include_rts=true&screen_name=OURSCREENNAME"></script>
