Twitter Plans to Automate Retweet Process

Micro-blogging site Twitter is slated to automate its retweet process, to allow a   more inclusive access to information within the website. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said the firm plans to "formalise" the retweeting process for users to easily share tweets with own followers. 
 

"Retweeting is a great example of Twitter teaching us what it wants to be," Stone noted.

 

"The open exchange of information can have a positive global impact and the more efficient dissemination of information across the entire Twitter ecosystem is something we very much want to support. That's why we're planning to formalise retweeting by officially adding it to our platform and Twitter.com."

 

The process has not been completed as of yet, but a retweet button is to be expected. Furthermore, users will be most likely given an option to disable the retweet feature. 

 

"Sharing our thoughts before launching means developers will have the opportunity to prepare their applications, Stone added. 

 

"In a few weeks or so we'll launch the feature on our web site and because app developers had a chance to prepare, it should become available across most of the Twitter ecosystem about the same time."
