I'm open to discussing this, but I'd like to address one thing first: what kind of interaction do we want to encourage here? If you like something, you can star it and move on. If you LOVE something, so much so that you want to share it with people who follow you, surely you…

I honestly don't see how a social network can survive without retweets. They're just not going to get the critical mass. There needs to be an "amplify" gesture and quote ain't it.

no worries at all, I appreciate the response. Imagine something is so popular 10000 people love it and want to share it. Now you have 10000 small texts to go through, most of them identical. Feels like "this is awesome and I want to share this but I have nothing to add" is a real and common scenario, and folks have talked themselves into a weird blind spot and refuse to get out. You don't have to convince me of anything, but my view is either retweets are eventually added or dev-null won't reach a critical mass and die. Just hoping to help!
