Loving the app but just noticed a small problem. When a native retweet shows in the timeline it includes the "RT @username:" part in tweet which causes the tweet to be truncated and is confusing as it looks like the retweeted user is retweeting themselves.

Example, in the tweet below the "RT @safety:" is redundant as it already starts with the original posters name and the extra characters have caused the full message to get cut off at the end.

safety RT @safety: Another heads-up: If you've received a DM promising you a free iPhone, that, like the iPad, indicates that your friends have ... (Retweeted by twitter)

It should have been displayed as:

safety Another heads-up: If you've received a DM promising you a free iPhone, that, like the iPad, indicates that your friends have been hacked. (Retweeted by twitter)
