Looking for an amazing ‘Eid gift or a gift that is ultra cool? Here’s a Twitshirt, a t-shirt with a message (tweet) from our Twitter account. Available in 5 colors and various sizes.
Spread the message of an often neglected practice of our beloved Prophet Muhammad sal Allahu alayhi wasalam.
“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.

As Muslims prepare to celebrate ‘Eid il Fitr around the world, the buzz is growing across the blogosphere and the Twitterverse. Popping up today on the Twitter Trending topics is the well known phrase in the South East Asian part of the Muslim world: Selamat Hari Raya. This Malay phrase translates to “Happy Celebration Day”. This greeting is used more commonly than the universal “Eid Mubarak” in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.
