How Do I Forward a Twitter to Others?

Twitter is an online social networking website that allows people to share personal status updates with all the people who follow them. The site allows instant and widespread communication methods, which include the option to forward messages, or tweets, to others. Forwarding a tweet, or "retweeting," used to be done by simply copying and pasting the original message, adding "RT" (for "retweet") in front of it, and including the original poster's name with an @ symbol before it. The method has since been improved and can be done quicker in a more organized fashion.
