RT stands for retweet. It&#8217;s a great way to share information and build a relationship with the original poster. It also serves as free promotion for online businesses. It is similar to forwarding an email. If you RT a tweet, it will be visible to the person who posted it. Here&#8217;s how RTs work. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RT_stands_for_retweet\"><\/span>RT stands for retweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>RT stands for retweeting on Twitter, a way to share a post made by another user. You may have seen this acronym in the middle of a tweet, but are not sure what it means. RT stands for re-Tweeting in real time. Using this symbol will not change the original meaning of the tweet, but it can help clarify its usage.<\/p>\n<p>Retweeting allows you to share a specific tweet by copying and pasting the link into your own tweet. When someone retweets your tweet, the link will be displayed beneath it. This allows you to save space and also add your own thoughts to the tweet. RT is like currency on Twitter, so you can send it to anyone, not just the person you follow.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to RT is to forward a tweet, using the RT button. By doing this, you can also add a comment, which is the same as making a new tweet. Besides RT, there are other popular Twitter acronyms, including &#8220;F-T-W,&#8221; which means &#8220;for the win,&#8221; and CW, which stands for &#8220;content warning.&#8221; PB stands for personal best.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_similar_to_forwarding_an_email\"><\/span>It&#8217;s similar to forwarding an email<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s similar to forwarding an email, but with a little twist: Twitter posts are public. This means that anyone with access to your Twitter account can see what you&#8217;ve posted. This is a great way to make sure your followers can see what you&#8217;ve said, without having to worry about them seeing what you posted yourself. Besides, you can forward your tweets to your friends, too.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"445\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"249\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sKRe8FSWOww\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is RT on Twitter?
