Very good explanation of some Twitter basics for those of you who are just starting out on Twitter, with some valuable tips/ideas for seasoned Twitter users, too.
(Thanks to Jan L. Gordon for posting this to her topic,"Content Curation, Social Media and Beyond," first.)
Podjam.tv: "For those new on Twitter you might wonder why you see people sharing a tweet with an RT at the beginning of each tweet. This is called a ReTweet. Re Tweeting started around 2008 when someone saw a tweet and wanted to share it but also wanted to be able to give credit to the person who shared it first."
