Twitter Retweet Beta

Adam DesAutels on 11 10, 2009

WOW! It is about time. Twitter is currently beta testing the option to retweet messages without having to copy and paste the message into your update window. Why did they wait so long to test this feature? I refreshed one of my Twitter accounts today to find a special little message waiting for me. Strangely this is an account I just started and only has one follower. Don’t know how much retweeting I will be doing from this account.

“We’ve just activated a feature called retweet on a very small percentage of accounts in order to see how it works in the wild. Retweet is a button that makes forwarding a particularly interesting tweet to all your followers very easy. In turn, we hope interesting, newsworthy, or even just plain funny information will spread quickly through the network making its way efficiently to the people who want or need to know.” – Biz Stone
