Not long after Twitters initial beta release to a small percentage of the Twitter community, they have now rolled out the feature to everyone.

Users can now retweet messages posted by other members and allow for the retweets to appear in the stream by clicking on the newly added Retweets section (located below Direct Messages).

Twitter has added a retweet button next to the reply button on the tweet, so you can choose any message you want to share with those following you or in the public timeline (those who post on Twitter, with the exception of users protecting their tweets, have their messages viewed by everyone).

Once a message has been retweeted, it will show under the original tweet a notification indicating the users who have retweeted that message. This also allows for message authenticity as users can see the message exactly as it was written by the user who initially posted it.

Have you started using this feature? What do you make of it?
