Retweet Madness

Retweet Madness

Twitter is starting the rollout phase of project Retweet. Project Retweet is simply a way of hopefully standardizing the retweet syntax, and show you on your Twitter account your tweets that have been retweeted, and your retweets. The only problem I see is that according to Twitter, you are not going to be able to add to the text of a retweet. Stats about your retweets and retweets by others will appear in your twitter timeline.

What???

That’s right. So for power users of Twitter, the power and flexibility of the retweet will be gone. Although I don’t have a ton of information regarding this whole process, I do believe that NOT TO BE ABLE to modify at least some portions of a retweet will keep some from retweeting as frequently as they have been, which according to Twitter is actually a small number of totals users.
