Retweet with Comment Feature on Twitter

Have you seen that now when you retweet someone on Twitter you can add your own comment about the tweet.

This is great for a few reasons:

• You have 140 more characters to talk about the tweet you retweeted. (Quite often before there wasn't enough room to say anything.)
• It is a great way to build relationships with the people you are retweeting as you can start a conversation with them as you retweet.
• You can add teaching points in the comments so people see you as an expert.

I am sure there are more benefits they were the first 3 that came to mind.

In this video you will see how the feature works, the different ways you can retweet and what the new retweet with comment feature looks like.
