Websites are always helpful in one way or the other, Ideas have been spreading from person to person for thousands of years; contagious ideas form the very foundation of human culture and history. Like “The Matrix” was composed of computer code, the real world is made of infectious information. Your chair, your desk, the computer you’re reading this on, the food you’ll eat today, the money you’ll earn; they all began as ideas jumping from person to person. None of it would exist if the concept wasn’t contagious. anyways, instant loans a good way to get started to renovate your dreams into the world of reality.
Thanks
Micheal,

I’m not so sure and bit more cynical. I think a lot of people think they should be tweeting something everyday, if they have nothing new then they just retweet something else.

I read the comments and I agree with them all. I think Carla said it best though – that retweeting is even more powerful than original posts. Ithink it’s because it gets to be passed on to more people which is great!

How ideas are transmitted, and the effect they can have on a society is something that i have been interested in for a while. Something good for me to read on a Tuesday morning, thanks.

To me, reTweeting is sometimes more powerful than “original Tweets” that I write, especially if I am RTing a blog post or website. I am exposing more people to that information with the click of a mouse. The person who’s post I’m RTing may get more visits, sales, comments, subscribers or clicks just because I made that very simple move.

Hi Dan, Love this. I find one thing I love is to open my home page on Twitter and see what’s there that captivates me that was tweeted within the last few minutes. It’s purely random, but is it really. By my choice I’m following these people because they have something to say.

It’s cool to be able to study the structure and spread of memes, at the same time, there’s something about studying it that takes the spirit and spontaneity out of it. In other words, I’m not sure the spirit can be captured and recreated without some robotic quality that will surely fail. Perhaps it might create some huge logjam of contagious tweets and retweets so it’s no longer fun to use social media.

Anyway, that’s my first take on the matter.

Thanks for starting the discussion,
Pamela

The interesting thing about the decision to retweet (for me anyway) is that it does not so much reflect what I like per se so much as it reflects what I think others will like.

a single retweet tells little, it’s figuring out why/how something gets retweeted multiple times that will provide the useful information.
