Only Retweet What You Like

With the growing demand of Twitter accounts many users are begining to ask a lot of questions on how to send direct messages, gain more followers, and the code of ethics of retweeting an update.  The term retweet better known as RT has become a normal practice for heavy users who chose to share an update, link or article of something they think is interesting.  

Now that simple form of sharing has been modified by a new website that offers rewards for retweeting an updates even if you don’t find it worth sharing with your followers.  The new service website is called www.Retweet.it and works on a credit system of resending your tweets for you to other users.  In order to sign up you have to have 50 followers or more and you immediately earn 3 credits once you join.  For every two tweets that you RT from users of the site you will get one RT in exchange.

As much as I like to share interesting updates with others I think this service sort of cheats the process and could eventually turn something that was of value to the user to Twitter spam.
