Very useful information, Laura, for people who may not HOW to retweet. Though, this begs the question if I was new to Twitter, WHY would I want to retweet? Where’s the value in retweeting, I’d want to know in that situation.
Keep ‘em up!

Good info for new users, and a good reminder for all of us that there are two ways to do this. The important distinction in my mind is that using the “old school” method allows you to add your own comment to the retweet, giving your followers a more personal message from you … and probably increasing the likelihood that they’ll follow any link or retweet it themselves.

I use Tweetie, and I usually click the RT icon, and just let the tweet (including the RT and the @username) stay unedited. But once in a while I edit the message in the retweet to fit my followers, and once in a while I actually remove the RT and put via @username at the end (I think that this brings even more readers to the tweet and more clicks).

Thanks again! I would have liked the Retweet button to let you edit the Retweet a little by maybe adding a compliment or a note preceding the tweet, but no such feature….But I still use it now and again. Thanks for the videos!
