Our channel FAQ

  1. ReTweets/captures: Why do we post Tweet captures with credit and not ReTweet?

    1. Images of a tweet with credit get substantially more attention to the original account, more followers and more viewers. Viewers see images!

    2. ReTweets do not always show the full Tweet inline in the viewer

    3. We have tested extensively and find that a copy of the full text Tweet with credit will get the channel 2-10 times as many new followers and attention as an RT.
