Ellen's 3+million retweet: https://twitter.com/TheEllenShow/status/440322224407314432
Kartik: If Aaron reposts Barnaby's post, he would keep a copy of the original on his repost. Now if Barnaby deletes the original should Aaron still keep a copy? What if the original post is copyrighted.
Tantek: I want to implement reposts on my site so I keep a copy regardless, and also POSSE native retweet on Twitter. Repost+comment: an emerging pattern on Twitter is to add a comment before retweeting as in "comment by retweeter" RT: @originalposter original post
Or using the recycle icon ♺ e.g.
Recycle Icon Aside
Aside:
Google can't find ♺
Nor Bing
But it's on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%99%BA
Unicode: U+267A ♺ recycling symbol for generic materials

Repost UI flow
Repost UI:
- You enter a URL to repost (or click a repost button)
- Your software asks for confirmation:
"Repost this to your followers?"
(preview of your repost... )
(Cancel) (Repost)
Whiteboard:
Repost presentation
UI sketches:
Reposting a tweet or post with POSSE tweet
Reposting a tweet, retweet, or indie post (repost) with POSSE tweet. Whiteboard:
Reposting a post that lacks a POSSE tweet
Reposting an indie post WITHOUT a POSSE tweet - how do you POSSE to Twitter? Either you don't, or if you do: ♺ user.example.com: "--------..." user.example.com/permalink
Details:
- "------" = up to 99 characters of the text of the indie post being reposted
- ... - regardless of truncation include original permalink at end of POSSE copy (instead of permalink to your repost)
Whiteboard:
