The Art of the ReTweet
Twitter is a powerful tool because once your tweet goes live on the site, it can quickly go viral. When one person sees a good tweet, they can then pass that message on to their own followers, and soon it's spreading all across Twitter. This is a very good thing for a marketer. On Twitter, it's called ReTweeting.
Twitterers can simply copy someone else's tweet and tweet it themsleves, but but they usually will give credit to the original Twitterer...YOU. It will look like this, "RT @username: original tweet message." When you retweet other people's tweets, be sure to add a small comment at the beginning or in brackets at the end: "Great article - so true! RT @username: original tweet message."
If your tweets are interesting enough, people will share them with their followers, and those followers will come to your page to find out who you are.
