What to retweet
Wondering what to retweet? Researcher Dan Zarrella (@danzarrella) has found four types of posts that are commonly retweeted:
How-tos and instructional stories or videos
News, especially breaking news
Warnings (like a scam or virus that's circulating)
Freebies and contests
Those are all pretty easy to figure out. But Twitter is also a great medium for wit, and it's really worth retweeting a unique turn of phrase. We've shown a few of our favorites here. For a bunch more, see http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/09/twitter-epigrams-and-repartee.html.
