Recently, Twitter released a new beta feature for retweeting from their web interface. Initially, retweeting had to be done manually. Adding the “RT” then copying the username (not forgetting the @ symbol) and then copying the tweet. Soon after, third party applications like CoTweet and HootSuite integrated the retweet feature into their platforms.

Interestingly, one of our lesser known Twitter accounts (@sumikael) was selected for the beta feature.

Here are the screenshots of the retweet feature.
