Recently I get somehow annoyed by people who used RT instead of replying, because they put so much spam in my private Twitter account. So, are you one of Twitter users who got easily annoyed by people who spam your timeline using RT? If you are, then welcome to the club.
And for those people who doesn't know the difference between RT and Reply, here's the difference:
You use RT to RE-TWEET informations, or quotes you want to share to your followers.
And you use REPLY, well, to reply other people's tweet.
Trust me, I'm not the only one who gets pissed off every time I see people spamming my timeline with unimportant chats with the RT feature. I mean, I don't want to look at what you're talking about, and neither do another people.
Then probably you'll ask, "If I don't RT what I tweeted, then people won't understand what I'm replying to!"
That's a simple question to answer.
If someone named James tweeted this: "Wow, @twiquotations is so awesome!" Then you better answer in this format: "@James What's twiquotations? (RE: Wow, twiquotations is so awesome!"
If you REPLIED like that to James, other people in your timeline who doesn't follow James won't receive your tweet. So PLEASE PLEASE don't reply James like this: "What's twiquotations? RT @James: Wow, twiquotations is so awesome!"
If you replied like that, then other people who follows or doesn't follow James will see your tweet in their timeline.
Much more depressing if you do them simultaneously, like you're chatting. Example: "Wow I have to follow it! RT @James: It's a quoting page on Twitter RT @Judy: What's twiquotations? RT @James: Wow, twiquotations is so awesome!"
See what I mean?
