9 As Twitter is getting more and more traffic worldwide, retweeting becomes the most powerful factor in the Twittersphere. What is retweet? The retweet(RT) feature is when someone takes your Twitter message and tweets that same message to all followers in their own Twitter network. Getting readers to retweet your content allows the power of your network to take over and spread your message in the world. In other words: it helps spread your message from one community to the next and has the ability to spread messages much faster than any other viral marketing tool.
