The burning question: What gets re-tweeted? First, I will explain for non-Tweeters (a Tweeter is a user of Twitter) a re-tweet is wheen a user of Twitter adds “RT @username” to a message and re-sends it to their Tweeple (Twitter people). This signifies the source of the initial tweet, and it pays the orignial sender a respect for their tweet (message). Being re-tweeted is not only a great honor, but it greatly expands the reach of your messages. Just imagine that when I send something out to my present group who follow me, if they re-tweet it to their group of followers, and if those people also do the same, well, the numbers can get huge!

Finding ones way in the “Twitterverse” is a very personal experience. Each of us develop our own uniqueness and personality. While there are a number of Twitter users who choose to use Twitter with little more than to promote a product, many users are in it to have fun and meet new and interesting people, with the possible side-effect of growing business. My personal Twitter experience is that it is a fantastic way to find a ton of useful information that I probably would never have found otherwise. I have written a couple other posts (Twitter Usage Study | Twitter Usage Study Results) about Twitter usage, but this one is about the fun and funny side of Twitter.

I saw a poll today that was quite revealing. It showed that good humor is far more likely to be re-tweeted to others. This kind of explains why when I look at retweetrank.com it shows @murnahan (me) in position #47 for re-tweeted messages at the time I am writing this. It is because my Twitter “channel” is chock full of the most zany, strange, bizarre stuff I can find. That is the stuff that interests me. Twitter, to me, is a great place to be the class clown. I tend to send a lot of video links in my Tweets, and what better than a funny video about Twitter? It just makes sense. So I want to share a few funny Twitter videos that gave me a chuckle.

Rap may not be your favorite genre, but this comical video of the “Twitter Gangster” is a Twitter great!

Ben Walker (@ihatemornings) The Twitter Song

This one is a hoot! If you haven’t been bookmarked, re-tweeted, and blogged, you might as well not have existed. Ben has a real hit with this video.

Mark Aaron Murnahan (me) (@murnahan) Twitter Kids

In this video, I share my secret to Twittering more by using my six year old son and three year old daughter. Don’t worry, I supply them with plenty of coffee and Red Bull … After all, I am not an animal!
