I have thought about it for the longest time and come to the conclusion that the new retweeting system gives the retweeter no incentive to retweet new and exclusive content. What use is it to ME if you see someone else’s avatar in your timeline with cool info on it? This is exactly the reason why retweeting became so popular in the first place!

Someone else’s tweets make our RTs look cool. I had this epiphany here.

This is also exactly why am gonna stick to the old way of retweeting for the time being.
