ReTweets – Is Twitter Breaking Community Features

According to yesterday’s blog post, Twitter has plans to work retweets (RTs as they’re used) into the online application. According to Dan Zarrella this is a summary of the change in function, “Twitter plans to add a button to the Twitter web client that says “Retweet” that will allow you to send the same exact Tweet, withno editing, to your followers. Your followers will see the original poster’s avatar and name, even if they’re not following them, and the only indication they’ll see that it is a ReTweet will be a small line of light gray text underneath it.”

I saw a sputtering of tweets today on the topic, and I’m inclined to jump on the #SaveReTweets bandwagon. However, if we’re to assume Twitter has the interests of the community in mind, I would like to add some helpful critiques.

DFW Events – Week of Aug 3rd – Anyone?

Afternoon all. It’s a light week, with nary an item on my calendar. If you have an event @reply me on Twitter and I’ll post it here or you can simply leave a note in the comments.

I’ve had a few folks hit me up on Twitter asking what my intentions are for the blog. I think it was just a ploy to see if I get more consistent with posting. As any blogger will tell you, there are highs & lows, and points where outside forces intervene. I’m not going the way of the white rabbit, but I have been lapse in consistent content.

OK, what I’m not going to do is write a blog post about not posting. Suffice to say, content is coming. Long time readers know, where there’s a will there’s still a blog. For the time being, you can count on the weekly events post every Monday.
