I still have no idea what retweeting is. I installed a neat wordpress plugin on my blog and it has a cool retweet button next to all my posts. I will do some more research. Thanks. Matt.

I'm completly new at this so I need alll the help I can get, Thanks
Thank you for the simple but very important concept of Re-tweeting, It is very important fo provide "value" & not selling to your followers. Thanks again Mario.
Thanks for this "golden nugget:" on the science and nuance of twitter!---all of my twitter team appreciates it, Bill! Erwin

Fully agree that retweeting and also connecting users on topics which are relevant is a must rather than just chit chatting and using this as a social jabber or messenger .
Use Twitter to widen your presence either business / commercial as well as news and events that are helpful / useful to twitter users.
Consider the Customer experience and never intend to Spam or Jam the network.
I'm just getting into the idea of retweeting, and I can definitely see the value in it. The main thing to me is that you're letting the source know that his/her tweets are worthwhile to you--so much that you feel it's a good thing to spread them around.

Thanks Bill. I'm a newbie to twittering. Got your TTM and developed a following of over 1800 in 2 weeks. Lots to learn still.

Thanks Bill, that was really helpful! Can't wait for your next show. :)
Thanks Bill. I'm new to all this twitter stuff. Didn't know how to retweet. I've been responding by direct messages. Thanks for the info.

Hey Bill! Great stuff....I've been doing it for a while, naturally. If I liked someone's comments, quotes, etc. then I wanted my followers to benefit from them.
Looks like it was a great day where you live! We're here in sunny, I mean very rainy FL dodging major t-storms lately. We had a fantastic winter, so it's time to suck it up and endure the summer coming up.
Hey - I just gave a *local* New to Twitter workshp here in rural Iowa - (yes- thank goodness for Twitter - or all we'd have to talk to is the cows!) And today was JUST on the main Twitter interface and I taught them how to RT. I will eventually share your name with them - don't want to overload them too much yet...but I really enjoy your videos. I love Twitter and have taken to it like a fish to water - or a bird to the sky ??? Anyway - thanks again. @phylliskhare

Sounds fantastic Phyllis, maybe I can skype in on one of the meeting some time :). Thanks for helping to grow awareness of the wonder of Twitter.
Bill, Another great idea! Thanks again. Another thing that retweeting does is really helps to build the relationship with the Twitterer that you retweeted. I have recently retweeted some great tweets, the original person direct messaged me, thanking me for the retweet. Next day I login and find that that person has now retweeted several of my tweets. So I scratched her back, and then she scratched mine.
I have several other articles related to this and other social media / blogging topics on my blog at http://blog.blogginginsider.com .
Bill, we all so appreciate your knowledge and your system. Retweeting revealed to the masses. It's like learning how to say Thank You in twitter land!

Good Afternoon from Wintertime Australia Bill,
Nice and warm and sunny on the Sunshine Coast of Sub-tropical Queensland.
Thanks for the Retweeting update Bill! There you are, this 80 year old Aussie has learned something new for the day, so the day will not be entirely wasted.
WOW! That Twhirl thing will need looking at to see how to use it! Strike me lucky, tis old guy from the horse and buggy days is getting peeps from Twhirl.
Tqking is easy on following after being tossed out once. Up to 1421 followers after several days. Bit nervous about being tossed out again.
Kindest Regards from the best country in the world (Not that I am prejudiced at all)
Bill: Hello I saw the U tube adv. and signed up for the 6 video series. I am new to this and "followed" you but didn't know how to send you a message so my twitter account"DesignDolceVita/twitter.com and my website www.designdolcevita.com could get on your twitter page.Please advise.Thanks. Eileen Reilly

Thanks for the retweet video Bill. Appreciate all your great help.
Can you clarify how many times we can tweet the same message and is it possible to have say 5 different tweets and rotate them them 24/7 without getting suspended? Thanks Scott http://twitter.com/InsightfulBooks

Hey Bill
Just got your twitter pac and in a couple of areas of the set-up did not do well. Specifically, the clickbank set up kept giving me error msgs - related to the twitter part - not sure whats going on there... Is this a common issue and if so, how do you emedy?
Thanks for this. I can cut and paste, but am unsure of the way to give them credit. Do I do it like this? @ with my name and then RT? Thanks for the clairfication. I appreciate it.
Bill, I just got your $27 system. Thanks.Is this the right environment to get feedback from you or someone else? Why don't I have an "Everyone" link, etc?
It's worth pointing out the other side to this point: retweeting means simply passing on someone else's message. It's a bit like me re-posting this blog post. Retweeting can be a pain in the arse if you follow five people who all decide to retweet the same tweet - so your twitter stream becomes filled with a reverberating echo that wastes valuable space.
So while retweeting might be a nice way to scratch someone's virtual back, remember that you may be simultaneously irritating your followers by showing them something they've already seen (potentially multiple times).
Maybe it's better to NOT clutter up the Twittersphere with other people's tweets - maybe it's better to be original.
Hi Bill: I've listened to your video, and I'm wondering, for thos of us who are trying to get the word out about their website, and who want to re-tweet, etc. for those of us who are challenged to the max to figure out how to do all this stuff, is there anyone who can help (do it, walk me thru it step by step, provide such a service, etc.) Huuum, maybe I've opened up someone's creative juices vein and they might get such a service going. Anyway, I would sure appreciate you're suggestions! Mike

Mike, the best thing to do is to follow people that teach these techniques (as I do). I will be offering a training program on what I do soon, but it is not yet complete. Watch for announcements of things to come.

Cheers Bill for the useful info so far on re-tweeting.
Hey Bill, can you help me, There are all kinds of twitter buttons, I want to put one into my ebay listing, I don't know how. It says copy it and paste the code, but once you paste it how does it turn into a twitter button? Is there a source you have to use, or does ebay block you from using these unless your "special".? Hope you can help me or someone else.
BillCrosby
Ebay allows you to insert html code into your listings. Therefore, you can put a twitter button with simple "a href" code to go to your twitter site to follow you there. It shouldn't be that difficult. Good luck!

I was able to locate a alternative for blogspot that functions similarly to the "What would seth godin do" widget for word press. I tried it out and seems to work well. It isn't a widget, but you simply copy and paste code to the blogger. Here's the link... http://skylark-software.blogspot.com/2008/11/ho...
Switching to wordpress would be a little painful since I have a few years of posts. I guess it will take some sort of incredible advantage at wordpress to get me to switch. I am optimistic about what you have coming up since i liked your twitter program.
