Since a tweet is 140 characters, a "RT @username" (and character count for the username varies) would take a chunk out of the 140 characters. So if the original tweet is 137 characters - verbatim RT is out of the question. This presents a Tweet regurgitation scenario (with the option of own opinion addition) - an RT of the second kind. Wondering what the best protocol for this scenario. How about the ReTweet shrinkage scenario?
