My biggest issue to the new retweet feature is that I can no longer add a comment with my retweets. Most of the time this is a deal-breaker for me.

- niyazpk 17y agoYou can always retweet the old-school way. It is not deprecated.
- boundlessdreamz 17y agoIt can never be deprecated only banned (i.e if twitter doesn't accept tweets with "RT" in them)
- j_b_f 17y agoThey are 100% not going to do that.
- joshuarr 17y agoYeah, I do - that was bad phrasing.
- slig 17y agoI find it incredible hard to add a comment with the remaining chars (original tweet length - 'RT @username')
- bhousel 17y agoI think this is a deal breaker for a lot of people. It's gotten to the point now, I think some people think RT stands for Reply To. True, you don't have much room at the end of the tweet for your reply, but most people will just add a simple "LOL Yeah!" or something like that to the end. This is the main reason I recently pared down my list of people that I follow - I just don't want to see all the personal conversations that other people are having. More proof that users will just do whatever they want. People didn't use @Replies or Hashtags the way Twitter expected that they would. It's the same for RT.
- nooneelse 17y agoYou can put the comment in your next tweet and use a simple acronym at the beginning to reference what you are talking about... RTLRT (regarding that last retweet).
