RTFail Manifesto: Use New Retweets, We Unfollow You!
At the end of November, Twitter came out with a new retweet feature that supposedly solved a number of problems with the usage of retweets (RT) on Twitter
It is our stated option that the new RT is service degradation. So we hereby issue the #RTFail Manifesto:
That’s right – if we follow you, and you use the auto RT function 3 times (you will be warned) then you’re unfollowed. Love ya, but no exceptions. The new RT’s are Twitter spam, and until they are fixed, they shall be scorned in streams and in apps (looking at you Tweetie2).
For those that agree – join us in the #RTFail Manifesto in these simple ways:
- Get at RTFail Twibbon
- Issue your own #RTFail Manifesto warnings
- And of course, RT the #RTFail Manifesto, but only with a classic RT:

We are the Twitter RT’ers and we demand annotated RT’s
