Ok folks who can’t yet play, the screenshot above shows what retweets look like in “retweet beta” enabled Twitter accounts. Check out Twitter’s description of this new addition in the feature box at the top.
Note that a Retweets link has been added in the list of links in the sidebar. When you click that, you get the 3 tab display as shown above. Cool huh?
NOTE: Tweets shown originated from my @ragrs account.
My normal Twitter account is @stewshaw but it hasn’t yet been upgraded by @twitter.
Takehome: Twitter’s on fire – 2 new features in the space of a couple of weeks! Coders must be due a bonus for the Holidays.
Further Note
Never underestimate the power of a tweet or two, especially if it involves the well-connected. In a story explained in more detail here a couple of customers of a cafe chain with WiFi enabled premises complained the stores had censored out any incoming tweets containing URLs shorted with bit.ly.
Within a short time the company replied with this tweet.
Interesting.
