Retweeting is the most important function on Twitter. Now don’t get me wrong. Of course, it is important to gain a following and optimize Twitter with your website’s URL. It is also important to appear to be online as often as possible.

But retweeting is where real growth occurs in your messaging. And if you want to have effective retweets, you should use links that are shortened by bit.ly or ow.ly, and consider posting pics that can be retweeted. Additionally, wording is very important.

Recently, the singer Chris Brown tweeted that his new album was not on store shelves. He sent that message to more than 170,000 followers. Immediately followers retweeted the message and he retweeted their comments. Before you knew it, media outlets were reporting Brown’s concern.
