How to see your retweets on Twitter
Learn how to view your tweets, retweeted.
Twitter is gradually removing the Retweets tab from all accounts and merging it into the @username tab.
Editors' note: Unfortunately this quick fix was short-lived. However, this author is still seeking a new solution that isolates the retweets from other content on Twitter. If you have a suggestion or know of a solution, please add it to the comments, or share it with the author at cozdroid@gmail.com.
If you're running a Twitter account for a business, or if you're just curious about your personal reach within your followers, it can be difficult to sort through the @user tab's plethora of information.
So here's a quick fix for taking a look at your tweets, retweeted:
Log in to Twitter. Then, in the search box type:
include:retweets OR via @username
replacing "username" with your Twitter name.
If you find that the people retweeting you are using a different syntax (like "re:" instead of "via"), just add it to the end of the two search terms already listed.
For example,
include:retweets OR via @CNET OR re:@CNET
If you don't want to fuss with the search box, you can use this direct link by again replacing username with your actual Twitter name:
https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/include%3Aretweets%20OR%20via%20%40username
For instance, if you were looking at CNET's tweets, retweeted, it would look like this:
https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/include%3Aretweets%20OR%20via%20%40CNET
Now you can save the search on Twitter (through the save search button) or use a handy bookmark to see your retweets. It shouldn't be this complicated, but hey, at least the search function still shows them.
