Retweeting is the act of sharing someone else�s tweet with your followers � spreading the word wider. To identify a retweet, the Twitter convention is to put RT at the start of the retweet and to include the Twitter username of the person you are retweeting like attributing a quote. In fact, it is a violation of Twitters terms of service to present others� material as your own, so attribution is key.
Great post. As i had never tried to retweet because was confused about it. Thanks for sharing this information.
