Do you prefer to use Twitter.com's native retweet or do you prefer adding in RT before the selected tweet? Why? I asked my Twitter followers as part of my master's thesis project.

Native retweet · ElanaZak

Asked last night, but asking again: Do you normally natively retweet tweets or put RT in front? Why one instead of the other?

— Elana Zak · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:28:35

@elanazak I always try to do native RTs unless I have something to add. It looks better on the timeline.

— Rubina Madan Fillion · Mon, Aug 13 2012 14:06:33

@elanazak I’m not consistent, but I try to go native when I want to share something without endorsing it.

— Dan Kennedy · Mon, Aug 13 2012 14:09:03

@elanazak Native. Only time I use RT is to add comment. (Or MT to knock out a comment/swearword of theirs)

— James Ball · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:30:35

@elanazak I almost always use the Twitter retweet function, unless I want to add my thoughts to it, then I use the old school way.

— Brian Norton · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:49:15

@elanazak natively, usually. Unless I have something to add, then I use RT or MT.

— Victoria Reitano · Mon, Aug 13 2012 14:55:10

@elanazak Native RT on my phone b/c it is easier. I prefer to use RT on my laptop so I can add context/comment. Ideally I'll MT.

— Noah Chestnut · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:31:47

@elanazak Native RT so the other person's handle shows up in people's streams. But put RT in front when want to comment on the tweet.

— Amanda Lilly · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:34:14

@elanazak rarely natively bc I like to add a comment, but more likely on my phone when typing is a bit more difficult

— Dani Fankhauser · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:38:08

@elanazak I think it depends on the length; if I can put RT in front, I will.

— Jordan Cohen · Tue, Aug 14 2012 06:29:28

@Elanazak when the tweets are long, it's just easier to do native Retweet and avoid the hassle of MT. I put RT only if there's enough room.

— Mohammed Ademo · Mon, Aug 13 2012 14:09:24

@elanazak natively. Putting RT in front makes it looks like a forwarded email. Besides, rts are already labeled as such, no?

— Meredith Blake · Wed, Jun 20 2012 08:30:13

@muckrack Too many so-called journalists passively write stories based on press releases, hence the confusion. #muckedup

— Sean Carroll · Wed, Jun 20 2012 08:23:56

Journos & PR pros tell stories, but they do so for very different reasons point blank. Difference: Telling OUR news vs. THE news. #muckedup

— L. A. Jones · Wed, Jun 20 2012 08:25:08

Q2: In 2008, a report said there are 3 PRs for every 1 journo. (http://bit.ly/Kz4wjl) Think that's still true today? #muckedup

— Muck Rack · Wed, Jun 20 2012 08:18:57

@muckrack I guess it depends on how you define 'journalist.' By my definition, I'd say the ratio more highly favors PR than ever. #muckedup

— Heather Fletcher · Wed, Jun 20 2012 08:20:47

Q2: We all frame our stories, but great PR people do it with the facts in mind and journo's needs in mind as well! #muckedup

@muckrack I get called/emailed by at least 10 PR folks per day. Take from that what you will. #muckedup

Q2: For every reporter, there is probably 20 local PR pros and another 30 national ones sending them releases. #muckedup

Q3: Like the Odd Couple, could #journalism and #PR survive without each other? #muckedup

@muckrack @dstrollo No; someone will always want to steer the conversation; but will be harder to distinguish PR from journalism. #muckedup

@AntDeRosa Would you mind sharing what elements you think make up a social network? I love @Storify and would love it to be "next" FB idea.

@elanazak sharing external content to people who subscribe to you, native comments + likes, ability to follow users, inter-network sharing
