Retweeing
One of the great features of Twitter is “retweeting”.
This is a great way to share information, pass it on to your followers.
What’s a Retweet? Well if you like someone elses Tweet and you would like to share it with your followers, then you would retweet it!
How to Retweet
Here is the format of a Retweet – RT @teclantweet “here is the tweet text, or via @teclantweet
The RT obviously stands for “retweet” and lets your followers know that the following is someone else’s content. Next you put their username with the @ so that you link back to their profile and give proper credit. This is one of the very important etiquettes that you must follow.
The Advantages of Retweeting
Retweeting is not only a nice thing for you to do, it may also increase your follower count. Retweeting puts your username in other peoples Twitter streams. The more you retweet others the more likely someone will retweet your content. Once your content is retweeted by someone else, you get more exposure as they will have followers who do not follow you.
