Scenario:
Bob posts a tweet from TweetDeck.
Sally retweets Bob's post using HootSuite.
On Twitter.com, Sally's retweet will display a "source" of
"TweetDeck". This is incorrect. The source should be the source of
the person posting the retweet; not the source of the retweeted tweet.
Sample case: Tweet Status ID: 5923135588. I retweeted it from my
OAuth client "Quitter". The "source" in the XML payload is
"Quitter". Twitter.com is showing it as "TweetDeck".
