Has @Twitter Declared War on Traditional Retweets? #TR. Update 5/20/10 5:06 pm. I just tested it and Twitter has gone right back to what it was doing before. IMPORTANT UPDATE: On 5/20/10 I discovered that Twitter heard our voices, and removed the "RT" filter from searches. So we are back to normal. ********* (Thanks to my friends @lissnup and @dominiquerdr for bringing this issue to my attention:) We have previously discussed the problem with Twitter's "retweet" button, which has almost none of the properties of the traditional retweet ("Twitter tip: don't use Twitter's pseudo "retweet" button"), and discussed why it is preferable to use the traditional retweet (i.e. those usually signified by beginning them with "RT @Username").

It now appears that Twitter has silently begun a war against traditional retweets, with the first step being to filter them out of search (a) SEARCHES INITIATED THROUGH THE SEARCH BOX ON THE HOME PAGE, AND (b) SEARCHES INITIATED BY CLICKING ON A HASHTAG I find this pathetic, and outrageous. Update 5/18/10 10:19 PM. Twitter : bientôt des comptes pros pour les entreprises. Les pros auront-ils enfin un statut à part sur Twitter ? En tous cas, la plateforme de microblogging y travaille.

Depuis quelques semaines, Twitter expérimente en effet « Business Center », une version alternative de la plateforme enrichie de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour les entreprises. Aucune date de sortie n'est annoncée pour cette version « corporate » de Twitter, mais l'aperçu des copies d'écrans préfigure plusieurs changements : avec notamment l'arrivée d'une procédure permettant d'authentifier et distinguer clairement les comptes « corporate » des comptes standards.

Un gage de crédibilité pour les entreprises qui auront également la possibilité de dialoguer directement avec leurs clients via la messagerie privée.
