Re-Tweeting With Efficiency, RT Over Via
Some prefer retweeting messages in Twitter with a "RT" in the beginning of a tweet, some use "via" in the end. In several cases, I've noticed that if a tweet starts with a "RT", it's way more faster to figure out that the text isn't originally written by the user who posted it.
Let me explain with two examples. Imagine I posted two tweets on Twitter feed: New iMacs Feature 21.5 and 27-inch Displays and Available Quad-Core Processors http://j.mp/1xlX8P (via @theappleblog) RT @theappleblog: New iMacs Feature 21.5 and 27-inch Displays and Available Quad-Core Processors http://j.mp/1xlX8P First one appears like I wrote it, word by word, but when eye reaches the end, you find out that I didn't. In the second example, there's no question who's text it was originally. Also when a tweet starts with a RT, I can skip most tweets by just reading first three or four words after finding out it is the same tweet re-tweeted by another user. What do you think?
