This artilce was posted 2 months ago, and by now I hope Twitter has changed their minds about doing this. If you have an update, please let me know.

Thanks.

Can't you just continue using the old format if you want?

The fact that Twitter didn't have a formal way to retweet has always been lame. But I agree with Dan that to completely change the format now that the community has developed it's own standard in an open source way is even more lame.

I haven't heard anything to the contrary, but what is to stop us from doing it the way we've been doing it; either via another app or copy and pasting the tweet and adding "RT @username" and comments?

Eventually the brass may get the idea.
