What does the abbreviation Twitter RT mean? How do you reply to someone on Twitter?  What are the definitions of all this slang stuff?

Here’s the answers to your Twitter questions.

RT is an abbreviation for ReTweet, which is like Repeat.  It’s like forwarding, but for Twitters instead of emails.  If you see something really cool from one of the people you follow, you may want to ReTweet it so that the people following YOU (and not the original person) can see it.  In the example above, amateria is repeating something from kfoxaz about a new music service.

This is only useful if you have followers that the original person doesn’t have – meaning, if you’ve only got a couple of followers, you probably shouldn’t bother with ReTweets.
