RT Anonymous proposes:

No RT

RT is an outmoded and misguided way to dish out your hi-5's. It seemed cool at one time, but now we know it's noisy and doesn't add value. Let's create a better Twitter. Whether you are a reformed re-tweeter *points to self*, have always hated it or are somewhere in-between, join us to keep RT's from clogging up the intertubes. There is no shame here. Only hugs.

Making the case:

• http://alexking.org/blog/2009/01/29/an-alternative-to-rts-on-twitter
• This, this and this.

Your options

• Link to the tweet

  Thanks to the magic of hypertext you can reference the original.

• Favorite the tweet

  Click the ★ icon beside a tweet to show the world you think it's rad.

• Use via @person

  Tell it in your own words, then credit the one who inspired you.

Thank you for your time.
