I think that 'retweeting' isn't doing anything but clouding the conversation...

Joy, wha??? Yes, search.twitter.com was in the original, and I have not altered this post, so I don't know what you're talking about. Sorry. In fact, I disagree with your guys' boolean logic, or lack thereof- I was trying to isolate retweets only, and remove @replies. Your more simple search does not achieve that goal.

I'm no pro at getting re-tweeted, but i tend to RT links to blog posts that i find interesting or useful. My ovreall approach has been to share the love by RT'ing people who put out tweets that i enjoy thus allowing me to build a good relationship with people. The relationship is what matters ... so when i put out things that are worthy of being RT'ed people will be more likely to share the love back!

Great tips on how to pay more attention to what people are RT'ing of yours.

Great post Brian. There truly is an "art" to re-tweeting which is often overlooked.

Also, another good way to see if someone re-tweeted you is by signing up for TweetBeep. This service emails you anytime a term you want tracked is tweeted (in this case @yourname). This is also good anytime Twhirl or TweetDeck doesn't recognize '@yourname' as a reply. For instance: 'Looking forward to the @yourname party! it is going to be fun times!'

Take care!
