Here’s 3 Powerful Benefits of Retweeting that you can take advantage of right away..

1. A Retweet Provides Value to Your Follower(s)
One of the most important reasons why people follow you is for value. If you can provide value to your followers you will not only make your followers happy, you will most likely attract more followers. Providing quality content is always a great way to provide your followers with value. The first thing that comes to mind is sharing a link to relevant information that is from you or another person.

2. A Retweet Can Benefit Your Personal Brand
Retweeting will help build your personal brand as well as your follower’s loyalty. If you point a follower to an external source that is truly relevant and beneficial to them, the amount of trust that person has in you will increase. The next time you post a link, whether it’s to your website or to an external source, the chances of that person clicking that link are higher than before.

3. A Retweet Can Help You Build Relationships with Others
Retweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness, and others are likely to do the same for you. This doesn’t mean that you should expect someone to retweet your content just because you retweet theirs. Remember, retweeting is all about providing value to your followers, typically people will not retweet a post of yours unless it’s perceived as informative or helpful.

On a side note:
If you retweet incorrectly (sending Spam), this can actually hurt your personal brand and future traffic. If done right, a retweet can provide value to your followers, build your personal brand, increase future traffic, and build relationships with a lot of people in your niche.

While the retweet button feature is available on some third party twitter applications, many people have asked when and if Twitter will implement a retweet button directly on twitter.com.

Twitterwatchdog.com reported on this in August..

Well guess what?
Twitter has activated the retweet feature…

Biz Stone, Co Founder of Twitter, reported on the Twitter blog: “Retweet: Limited Rollout”…

We’ve just activated a feature called retweet on a very small percentage of accounts in order to see how it works in the wild. Retweet is a button that makes forwarding a particularly interesting tweet to all your followers very easy. In turn, we hope interesting, newsworthy, or even just plain funny information will spread quickly through the network making its way efficiently to the people who want or need to know.

Have you heard about the most recent buzz on “Twitter’s Upcoming ReTweet Feature?.”

Twitter API Announcement Group, stated in great detail it’s new outline of “Project ReTweet, what it will look like, and how it will work, but there appears to be a little mix up around the coding to build the feature.

And it also appears that it has many developers in an up roar about the Twitter’s API changing. Now a lot of the twitter third party services have to play catch up, and change how their programs work.
