Even people I really like and trust can sometimes make a typo in a link, and with all the malware out there you can't be too careful. <br /><br />It does make the RT process go slower. Some days I get frustrated when I can't read stuff fast enough and the tweet to the link I was reading scrolls off my tweetdeck screen. If I'm lucky I can remember who it was and track down the tweet by hand. Other times, I've just lost it.<br /><br />Still, reading the links first is a definite thing for me, because if it wasn't worth reading, it definitely isn't worth RTing. It also keys me in to when I've covered a topic enough. When I'm tired of reading stuff on a topic, I figure that so it anyone reading what I track. To be honest, probably they were tired of it long before and are skipping that stuff from me, so when I'm tired of a topic it is definitely time to quit.<br /><br />In any case, I'm happy to meeting a fellow RTer.

And, I also try not to RT something that I haven't actually read -- although there's a few people that I'll automatically RT even before reading. <br /><br />I also like your idea of RTing things that people may not have seen. It's one of the reasons why I rarely RT something from Mashable. I'd rather RT something with less than 10 RTs than something with several hundred.Sue Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992864428653646752noreply@blogger.com
