Finally twitter got (or testing) “Retweet” feature on their website. We have been using RT and most of the twitter clients has RT feature, but twitter website itself didn’t have it till now.

Actually the UI I see is not really like above now, it’s like this.

You can see “WHO” RTed the tweet, like this…

Now I see stranger’s tweets on my timeline like this…

It says…

Wondering who this is?

Someone you follow thought this was worth retweeting, which is why you are seeing it in your Home timeline.

When @31o5 Retweeted @newsclip ’s tweet via tweetdeck, nothing happened. Just like normal RT.

I logged in as @BKK_Events and unfollowed @cnngo, @cnngo is now stranger for@BKK_Events,

then I saw the “RT” icon on my timeline.

I logged in as @Beercamp and here is the difference. Both of @cnngo and @newsclip are stranger for @Beercamp, but only the RT via website shows RT icon.

@BKK_Events and @31o5 retweeted the same tweet from @cnngo, then it shows like this.

@31o5 retweeted another @cnngo tweet via tweetdeck, then shows like this. You can see difference. Both of @31o5 and @BKK_Events are not strangers for @Beercamp.

Twitter clients need to be modified, it seems.
