I think most initial tweets, particularly those with links to articles, cite the full article title. That takes up most of the 140 characters, but I'm not sure it's entirely necessary so long as the link in there. So I remove that. Basically I remove everything other than a link and the @person to acknowledge the initial writer. Everything else I'll make my comment. Obviously in what ends up approx. 100 characters there may not be massive insight, but I'll put my own comments and thoughts with a link to the original source. That means that I'm adding value, but also spreading the original info and giving credit to the person who made the original tweet. Thanks for the feedback.

With a tool such as Twitter it becomes imperative to continue to add to the overall worth. How would you RT those posts that are already pushing near 140 without trampling on the value already contributed by the original source?
