Retweeting made easy

January 19, 2010 1 Comment

Ever wondered about retweeting? Are you new to Twitter and can’t decipher the strange codes people talk in.

Here is my three point guide to retweeting:

  1. An example of a retweet is:

    RT @tashaharrison This is a great article http://bit.ly/45t783
  2. You can comment on a retweet like this:

    RT @tashaharrison This is a great article http://bit.ly/45t783 <– the point he made is worth thinking about
  3. You can also reference someone else’s tweet by writing at the end of the tweet:

    This article is really interesting and worth thinking about http://bit.ly/45t783 (via @tashaharrison)

Retweeting is a great way of sharing information with the people you follow. It is generally how articles and news are able to travel so quickly to so many people on Twitter.
