MeTweet
I have definitely done this, no ill will intended here. Just a little fun with words.
MeTweet n. or v. – To republish a tweet by someone else, about you.
It can be a good self promotion tool a slight step down from seeming completely self absorbed. Plus it can serve as a sort of thank you.
Examples
- ChrisBrogan: “Read @chrisbrogan or get smacked down like Hogan”?? @mclinklove has gone over the edge – ck it out http://bit.ly/DYXKl (via @ShellyKramer) View Post
- WayneSutton: “RT @ldbaldwin Guess who is speaking at Wordcamp RDU? @gatewood5000,@jakrose,@waynesutton & many more http://wordcamprdu.com/2009” View Post
- JasonFalls: “RT @edeckers: Attention #Indianapolis social media ppl: You can see @JasonFalls speak next Wednesday for $20. http://bit.ly/Fdza0” View Post
Is MeTweet the best word for this phenomenon? No clue. If you have a better suggestion, by all means, chime in.
Tip: To check someone else’s MeTweets, use this twitter search “@username from:username”. This only works if the person does not talk about themselves alot. It won’t work, for instance, on Gary Vaynerchuk, who ends a lot of tweets with “@GaryVee me“.
