http://isitold.com/ somehow determines when a link/url was first tweeted. I can’t seem to figure out how to do this with the twitter api, does anybody know?
I’d like to use when a link was first tweeted in a time decay function in my app.

Seems like twitter does not provide historical tweets (search api will not work).
You can get access to historical tweet information with a service like Topsy http://www.topsy.com http://code.google.com/p/otterapi/ (api on topsy).
