ReTweets
What is a ReTweet?
'ReTweeting' is a simple way of re-stating information that has been shared (tweeted) by another user on twitter. It is a way of giving credit to the original source of the information while, at the same time, delivering that information to one's own followers. The more a piece of information is shared (ReTweeted) the more popular it becomes. DailyRT is able to aggregate this information's popularity and thus create a list of the most popular 'tweets' at any particular time.How do I ReTweet someone?
- Find a tweet worth retweeting and copy it.
- Go to twitter.com and paste the tweet in the big white box that says "What are you doing?"
- Now you should give the original tweeter credit. The most common display methods for this are: "RT @username", "via @username" or "retweet @username" among others (username would be replaced by the original tweeters username). These display methods can be placed before or after the orignal tweet.
- The result should look something like: RT @username: This is a tweet that is worth retweeting.
- If the retweet looks good to you, click the 'update' button.
- Thats it! You have just created a retweet.
Is there a simpler way to ReTweet someone?
Absolutely. Several third party applications such as TweetDeck and dailyRT let you retweet a tweet with the click of a button. For example, once you have signed in to dailyRT you can retweet any tweets by clicking the 'number' on the retweets graphic to the left of the tweet. Try it out for yourself by clicking the 'Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /mnt/stor2-wc1-dfw1/400711/www.dailyrt.com/web/content/resources/index.php on line 51
