It used to be that if you liked something on Twitter you'd RT it.
Then Twitter added the 💗
Everybody thought, okay, if I like something I’ll 💗 it and my followers will see what I 💗
Wrong.
New Twitter doesn’t work like that.
Your 💗s don’t appear in your timeline.
Your followers can’t see what you 💗
Only the one person whose Tweet you 💗 can see it.
Your 💗s go into your LIKES file, used only by Twitter ADVERTISERS to sell you stuff based on your 💗s.
So, responding to a personal Tweet or promo with a 💗, is a waste of time. Nobody will see it, nobody will be able to make contact or a purchase or enjoy anything mentioned in a 💗ed Tweet.
The point of Twitter is to get your Tweets to as many people as possible. The way to do that is to RT.
An RT appears in your timeline and reaches all your followers & their followers & so on. Potentially hundreds, thousands, even millions of people could see an RT. People who may want to follow you, make contact or a purchase, or simply be amused or enriched by the Tweet.
So, if you want to remark on a personal Tweet or a promo, use the RT. The 💗 has practically killed Twitter as an interactive medium. Using the RT can revive it.
And by the way, when someone RTs your Tweet, return the favor by RTing one of their promos or personal Tweets instead of a thank you. This keeps your timeline lively and uncluttered with "thanks".
If you don’t RT what you like to your followers, Twitter will never be anything more than an advertising platform for big brands and famous people. *
Twitter, RT don’t LIKE, Take Back Twitter
