So it happened that I finally came across something to ReTweet about. My very first use of "RT". For those of you who are not familiar with Twitter codes, here is a brief and useful tutorial on Twitter FAQ.
RT means ReTweet or Repeat.
Copy the message you want your want to retweet and start with "RT @UserName"
OH means OverHeard
When you hear something funny or insightful with your ears (as opposed to reading it on Twitter) and you want to repeat it, prefix it with OH. Generally, this is used anonymously, not for quoting people.
HT means HeardThrough
This is similar to OH in that you use it to repeat things you heard with your ears. A difference is that you can quote the person's name.
Starting with @ sign means Reply
When you want to reply to someone, start your tweet with @UserName.
Hash Tags (#) help to designate topics that people might search for
When you head to conferences, look for hash tags.
#FollowFriday means recommended followers
This is like book recommendations from a friend. You can list your top followers in the form of @UserName after this tag.

I like the "via" more than "RT" :P
