Retweeting made easy

please-retweetAs a Twitter user i bet you love it, when your tweets get retweeted. Twitter users usually retweet good tweets, but sometimes there is something specific that tweeters just want to be shared, so Twitter users ask for a retweet. I have stumbled upon two very simple web based tools that add a special link to the end of any tweet that, when clicked, will automatically fill in all of the information needed to retweet. Very neat!

Try it out by retweeting this post.

Please Retweet Me makes it very simple to retweet any update. You just have to type in what you want to have retweeted and it will send out a tweet with a link at the end. Clicking on the link will take you to your twitter homepage and fill in everything necessary to retweet the tweet again. There is a downside tho. It requires you to enter your Twitter username and password, although they state that they have no intention of keeping or sharing that data. And a good thing is, you can track the number of clicks and retweets your tweet has received.

Please Retweet is similar, not just in name, but it’s functionallity is pretty much the same too. The difference is, that it doesn’t require you to enter your Twitter password, but it redirects you to Twitter website instead. Unfortunately that means there is no tracking of the number of clicks and retweets either.
