Twitter have announced that they are testing out a new ‘Retweet’ feature on a limited number of accounts to see if people use it. See below for a quote from the Twitter Blog:
 ”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.

The plan is to see how it goes first with this small release. If it needs more work, then we’ll know right away.
