Twitter Introduces “Retweet to share tweets” feature in the BETA stage

November 19th, 2009 by Mani Viswanathan Leave a reply »

Quite a while ago, Twitter had unlocked the LISTS feature only for few & one of our team mates had posted about it. Likewise today Twitter the social networking giant, introduced a new feature called “Retweet To Share Tweets” to make the Retweets look in a new & efficient manner.  Previously our Twitter account (i.e. TalkOnSomething Twitter Account) got the opportunity to preview the LISTS feature as that was also introduced in the BETA stage.

Whats New with the addition of this Feature ?

Probably many would wonder whats new in this ? The answer to your question is, that if you are a part of the BETA Team receiving the ability to have a preview of this, then you start seeing the Retweets as an image of kinda refresh icon instead of the normal RT text (RT = ReTweet). This makes it look more professional as Twitter is competing with other Top Social Networking sites.

Is this feature available to all ?

I’am probably confused over the answer of this question, because I found that some tweeters are still having the “RT” written on their Retweets. Moreover I logged in to some of my accounts, they did have the feature. Now I don’t know on what basis Twitter has given this feature to all.

New! Retweet to share tweets (BETA)

Hi there, you’re part of a beta group receiving this feature, which means you may start seeing retweets in a new way. People who don’t have this yet will see your retweets prefaced by “RT”

According to the quote from Twitter, its mentioned above that only some Tweeters are a part of this Preview, but as mentioned above I found this feature in 4 of my accounts. Now need to ask Twitter itself..LOL

Check the image below to see how the new Retweet looks,

Due to this new thing you get an additional icon beside the tweeters you are following, check the image below to see how it looks
