Opinion seemed to be divided over this Twitter release. Looks like transparency was one of the things Twitter were going for.

You can read the full reasons behind the new feature from the man himself...

Well, the backlash has started already today. Not everybody likes it, probably for some of the reasons mentioned above.

Maybe they shouldn't have called it retweet, 'Like' could have been a better word to have used.

It's a shame that transparency will always be lost. Human nature I guess. Still, from what I understand, sites like http://tweetmeme.com will be able to track the original source of a tweet should that be as important as twitter think it is.

Lists & Retweets within the space of a couple of weeks. Twitter is certainly getting more interesting. Not only for the users, but the developer community built around it...

Thats gonna make the importance of breaking news on twitter even more important, to be the first to hit that tweet...and may also cause some funny situations when that tweet turns out to be bollocks. (eg, the balloon boy incident). Oh... interesting times ahead!

Good points about the new retweet functionality. I personally tire of excessive retweeters and unfollow them, so this would probably keep those people on my follow list longer. I will miss the ability to RT with comments though.
