One of the main complaints that people have with Twitter is that, unlike third party or mobile apps such as Tweetdeck or Twitter for Mobile, you can’t add a comment to your retweets (unless you do them manually). Well, no more! Early last week Twitter FINALLY launched its “ReTweet with Comment” feature on the desktop version of Twitter. Today, if you click on the Retweet button you will get this:
It allows you to click either Auto Retweet (where you have nothing to add):
or to add your own comment:
One thing to bear in mind is that the comment section of this new feature allows you up to 116 characters. This is certainly very beneficial as prior to this (on other apps/platforms) your comments on retweets had to make do with whatever characters were left over from the original tweet.
Thanks Twitter!
