How do you react to people retweeting stuff that praises them? Like if I were to retweet somebody saying "@xuenay's essay is really cool everyone should read it". I see other people doing this but feel kinda weird about doing it myself. Not sure if I should?

I suspect
@_awbery_ would say there is a vast UK/US divide on this issue. Often shocked by my self-promotion, although my impression is it’s well within US norms. (Of course I could be hideously wrong and everyone thinks I’m embarrassing) -
Agree there's a big difference, I often think 'um... you can just SAY that??' reading Americans here I don't see a problem with the way you retweet fwiw, generally you're signal-boosting someone saying something thoughtful about your stuff rather than generic 'yay awesome!'
