Character Study: Twitter is Testing 'Retweet with Comment' (Fast Company) Twitter looks like it is testing a new feature that will allow you to cram more text into a retweet. Here's what happened: Twitter head of communications Carolyn Penner sent out a tweet Monday linking to another tweet from @FortuneMagazine, with some additional commentary. TechCrunch It appears that the “retweet with comment” feature would replace the latter “quote tweet” option, which today often requires users to truncate the original tweet in order to add their own two cents. Ubergizmo Basically it wouldn’t quote a tweet so users will be able to utilize the full 140-characters that they’re entitled to, while also being able to chime in on someone else’s tweet. It can be seen in the screenshots that the retweet is actually displayed as a separate card beneath whatever comment a user adds on it. Business Insider The idea is that this feature would foster more conversations on Twitter, allowing for context while not detracting from the length allotted for a response, which users currently experience with the "Quote the tweet" option. This way tweeters can have more space to voice their opinion while still linking to the original tweet. PC Magazine The original retweet function remains, but it isn't clear how this feature will be implemented (if at all) in third party apps. If it becomes part of the API, other apps will be able to add retweet with comment support. Otherwise, it might remain exclusive to Twitter's own apps.
