What Twitter’s new Retweet system may well look like

Via http://thenextweb.com/2009/09/18/twitters-retweet-system/

Not a terrible solution. Kinda taking a cue the "mentions" functionality from a number of twitter clients. But not sure I'd want it  separated out from my geeneral replies or tweetstream into it's own tabs like that.

A commenter over on TechCrunch mentioned they thought it looked like FriendFeed. Whcih got the conspirational part of my brain thinking: Facebook acquired FriendFeed recently so presumably FB will be rolling out more FF-like features. So is Twitter trying to leverage the conventions created its user community to make a preemptive strike?

Here's the TechCrunch post: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/18/closing-in-on-launch-twitter-tweaks-its-retweet-api-and-a-picture-of-how-it-will-look/
