New retweet feature on Twitter begins limited roll-out
Retweets, a way of sharing content on Twitter, are coming into their own.
Twitter’s testing a new official retweet feature after announcing they were going to incorporate the informal practice earlier this year.
As you can see in mock-ups above, there will be a link to retweet a comment on the web site and a way to track where a widely retweeted idea or link came from. As you can see above, you’ll be able to track what you’ve retweeted and what others have retweeted from you.
The company is rolling the feature out to a limited subset of users to check for bugs. Then if that goes well, they’ll bring it to the entire user base.
