I’m no Twitter expert. But isn’t retweeting your own tweet (as I’ve seen some people do) a bit much?

@BrianRoemmele use this technique to add context around earlier tweets. The alternative is a new tweet. The Twitter river washes everything away so Tweeting multiple times is typically recommended (though I don't do this enough) but retweeting also works.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Re-tweeting with the addition of updated or contextualizing information makes total sense to me. Just wondering if y’all experts ever retweet your own tweets a couple hours or days later with nothing new attached. That’s a behavior I recently observed and was wondering about…

James, great question. So it is based on who you are and what you are trying to achieve. A Tweet from earlier today and over the weekend for 300x more folks seeing it than before the retweet. So I let the empirical evidence always guide me. I see me as a curator of information.
