Twitter is making a major change to how Retweets are handled by the service, in a nut shell when you hit the Retweet button the message will be posted into your stream as usual, however the public view of the tweet will change to show your picture under the original Tweet instead of your RT @Name Message.

This is sure to make things more tidy for the casual user but there is a concern that we are also loosing a useful added benefit. Most users just hit Retweet and leave it at that but for some they add extra information or comments to the Retweet that have a value to charities as a form of feedback.

{jb_bluebox}In the short term we will just have to live with it and I'm sure Twitter have a plan to address the issue but it's worth being ready for this change we expect in the next two weeks so you don't have a head scratching moment.{/jb_bluebox}
