Comments on: Are you more or less likely to ReTweet (RT) something that someone else tweets if they specifically ask for a retweet?

If someone asks for a retweet, it usually doesn't have an impact unless I already like what is being written anyway. What is more likely is for me to Tweet This if there is a link at the bottom of a blog post. I usually only retweet those things that I like or make an impression on me.

Asking to retweet doesn't help or hurt people's chances for me to retweet them. I am not a huge retweeter, but when I do I usually make up my mind before I see their plea to retweet at the end.

If it's someone that's asking for RT every time I turn around, then I'm not likely to. If it's someone who only occasionally asks, then I'm more likely to. It also depends on what is being retweeted. I'm more likely to respond for non-profit or political purposes, or for things like polls where people are trying to get information. I've only asked for RT's twice. Once when I was looking for an old friend of my husband's, and once for a project I'm working on for one of my websites. I have no idea if they were retweeted, because I didn't search to find out. Most of what I RT is just because I liked what someone had to say and wanted to share it. I find whether or not I retweet on request depends on who is asking and what they want retweeted.

Results look evenly split thus far. The behavioral nuances of why people retweet and don't is much deeper than asking for a RT. I wrote a 6 page report on this topic here.

But if you're asking, please make sure to leave room for the RT characters. If I have to edit the RT for it to make sense, I probably won't bother editing or sending it.

It has no impact on me, when I see "Pls RT", I just think "whatever". To be honest, asking for a RT is plain shameless, unless the person is asking you to spread a message with a good cause.

If the original tweet is valuable information, and I think someone downstream can benefit from it, I'll do an RT regardless of whether or not it's asked for.
