RT: Twitter releases retweet beta feature
“What is RT?” is a common question asked by friends and family who have not seen the social media light. RT = retweet. Retweet = reposting a tweet (Twitter message) you found on Twitter.
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.
