I study ReTweets because I believe they offer an unprecedented window into how people spread ideas. And while Twitter may be threatening to mangle them, I think they’re still the most important innovation to come from microblogging yet.
I gave this presentation, or a version of it, at a few conferences this summer and since then I’ve done a bunch more analysis. So I added all my new data to the slideshow, included a video interview with me after Social Media Camp and uploaded it to SlideShare for your viewing pleasure.
If you like this presentation, vote for it on SlideShare and vote for my panel at SXSW.

Not sure if you read the recent eMarketer post which breaks down Tweets by content.

I couldn't agree more – ReTweets bounce around knowledge, ideas, information, and video content around as if a lightening speed beach ball. As an online community we are able to share and connect with similar likes and passions, it's fascinating! And also, a wonderful slide presentation, I enjoyed it. Well done!

Nicely done. But here's a question – why do people 'thank' other people for retweets? I don't get that: http://bit.ly/bOClNh
