Why I retweet

What I retweet doesn’t always represent my opinions, but sometimes I read a tweet and feel like retweeting it.

I retweet for many reasons:

• Things I agree with: This is interesting.
• Things I disagree with: See what this person said!
• Things I think my followers may be interested in reading.

Sometimes I like to use old-style RT @username retweets, one of the main reasons I do that is for the original tweeter would get a mention, which is something most tweeters read.

p.s. The spell checker in Firefox 4 was complaining about some words like retweet,retweets, retweeting…  🙂
