Twitter Tips and Jargon for the uninitiated

Retweets or to “RTs”

Twitter is an information channel for sharing information and ideas. Retweeting is an important aspect of Twitter’s ability to facilitate the rapid dissemination of information and ideas. Ultimately, it is an important part of the marketplace of ideas, conversation and engagement aspects of Twitter.

Retweets are messages first tweeted by another user that you decide to share with all of your followers. The first message is known as the tweet and your message sharing that tweet is a “retweet”, or “RT” in its twitter character saving short-form. By retweeting, the original user remains in the tweet as the source of the original message, and the original user’s ideas and content reach a wider audience. Users like it when their ideas and content is seen as valuable enough to be re-tweeted.
