A RT is a tweet that has been reposted from another user, usually to spread the word about something, or to repeat something interesting. "RT" is the abbreviation for 'retweet' or 'retweeting', and is usually followed by a username of the person who originally posted the message, like so: "RT @jasoncalacanis This Week in Startups is doing so well we're launching a 2nd show: This Week in Advertising! Looking for regular hosts... thoughts?!"
