    Both are important. But of course, it's really a good thing for the original poster to have all those RTs. I can't really see much advantage it has for the one RT-ing except for maybe goodwill with the original poster.

    Of course, Second option better for 1 person to tweet & other 4 to RT. RT helps in brand awareness & creates a good network with original poster...

    It's all about understanding the social media behaviour. Retweets are considered more catchy because they forward your twitter account as well and from there a user can come to know the brand more closely and follow it. Tweets produce another good impact that the person who is tweeting actually came to your site read your content and from there he/she is sharing or tweeting. Understanding twitter is just like understanding different moods of a human!

    I prefer retweeting because it signals your interaction with others and so is a higher value activity overall. Still tweeting is valuable too. Hard to say which is really better, and by what standard. Good question though.

    Agree that we should compose attractive tweets for others to retweet.
    But what's the point of retweet other people's tweet? Just help them to expose to my followers?
    Sorry, i am new.

    Tweet is a way of taking and sending a message.
    Retweet is when people send your tweet to other people.
