Is This Retweetable?

This one’s perhaps a little controversial. But still – things to say.

Go to Twitter search, and have a look at all the retweets.

(And this doesn’t even include the internal retweets, which for some reason do not show up on Twitter search. Somebody explain that one to me.)

Take a moment to look at the page and add up what you consider to be worthy of a retweet, and what isn’t.

Sure, this is absolutely subjective. But in a broader, collective sense, you would hope that most people have a rough idea about the value of things, and about when a piece of news or information is significant enough that it warrants sharing with everybody you’re connected to.

It’s not just the little people, either.
