Hello,
When someone I follow on Twitter or Identica RT a tweet from the
official way (ie not makes manually a citation with "RT @...") by using
"Retweet" option, I expect to see the message in my Timeline as it
appears on Twitter website.
It means : avatar and pseudo of original author of message retweeted,
and below a row which says "Shared" or "RT by @..." and name of user who
made the RT.
Because RT are a way to make your followers discover new interesting
users and be able to follow them.
I guess Friends will have soon an option to directly follow an user from
a menu coming after click on his avatar or name, so for that we need the
original ones, not those of the person who did the RT (see screenshot).
Another problem : when you RT a message which is already 140 characters,
the way Friends presents : it adds on the beginning of the message "RT
@" and name of author, which reduces number of characters available.
So often the end of message is truncated : we miss end of sentance, or
sometimes URL links are no more correct and can not be visited from the
RT.
I hope it will be possible to make it like official Twitter behavior :)
