Retweeting Explained

This lens is meant to give readers a better understanding of what retweeting is and how it works.

What the Heck is a Retweet 

I guess anyone who uses Twitter knows that a tweet is the short post on Twitter also known as a micro blog that lets everyone know what you're doing much like the status update feature here on Yuwie. 

But what the heck is a retweet or RT as some call it?  No, it's not repeating what you're doing incase someone didn't get the message.  According to one expert Kevin Rose - founder of Digg and investor in Twitter - Retweeting is simply forwarding the posts of other Twitterers to your followers.

You can retweet using one of the following methods: 

RT @originalsender: original message
retweet @originalsender: original message
retweeting @originalsender: original message

According to Keving Rose, "
Retweeting can be a great way to add followers, as it pushes your @username into foreign social graphs, which in turn results in clicks back to your profile. Make sure to track your retweets using retweetist."
