So re-tweeting has the balloon blank. So by re-tweeting you are not creating new content, but without the RT you lose the viral effect of social media.

where do we go after re-tweeting? Does everyone get all "Victorian" and start to blog again?

Good stuff. Dan

I think...who has content to share keep on blogging. (obviously I love Twitter, but it isn't enough for me)

does this mean we can do less and less and get away with it!

I usually try to comment and add value... here I can only stare and say:

"GREAT"

Sort of reminds me of:

"If necessity is the mother of invention, then ownership is the mother of innovation".

"There is an obvious correlation between the amount we sue, and how innovative we are as a society".

"Ultimately we will be so innovative that we will just spend all our time suing others."

Note to self, purchase retweet.com, write best-seller about retweeting for profit, retire early with no carpal tunnel.

This is brilliant! :)

David,

Brilliant as always. Even headline: 'brief' history of 'micro', absolute class writing.

Posted by: mike coulter | Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 04:43 AM

Oh yeah! Awesome and what about social media?

So...I just retweet now!

Posted by: StEELSnARL | Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 07:06 AM

Most comprehensive!

Posted by: Renato Tarantelli | Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 08:02 PM

Genius! This needs to be retweeted.

now if Hugh made this into a biz card...

Dave,

True but also not true. I think it is tricky.
I appreciate the sentiment and the visual. Very funny.

I am also wondering if education and learning are considered a Retweet?

I use Twitter Retweets as a learning tool to share content and ideas with students who would not hear of them otherwise.

Maybe some Retweets have a purpose that are not about taking credit for other peoples ideas, increasing followers, or trying to drive search engine traffic wild?

By the way, there should be a penalty for saying Retweets more than three times in a row.

Say it don't spray it.

Keep Digging for Worms!

Actually a RT is applying metadata to the original posting; it's not saying nothing, it's saying there a semantic link to this/that.
