Vhatawhich crappy microblogging client do all these geeks use that uses a weird recycling symbol to retweet somebody instead of doing a proper native retweet?04:44
superflyVhata: most of them these days, I think.04:49
Vhatayou'd think they'd be the first to use the open APIs that let you do native retweets?04:51
Vhatainstead of butchering the other persons tweet and adding shit at the beginning04:51
superflyhrm04:52
superflyI think my client does a native retweet04:52
superflybut that's also only a fairly recent development04:52
Vhatathe other amusing thing is that the recycling symbol, being unicode, takes up two characters, just as many as 'RT', so it doesn't save any space04:53
superflyheh04:53
