As promised, Twitter has instituted a formalized retweet system. It is being tested by a "small percentage" of users.
In August, Biz Stone wrote in the Twitter blog:
Retweeting is a great example of Twitter teaching us what it wants to be. The open exchange of information can have a positive global impact and the more efficient dissemination of information across the entire Twitter ecosystem is something we very much want to support. That's why we're planning to formalize retweeting by officially adding it to our platform and Twitter.com.
How long it's on beta remains to be seen. The failwhale may be a frequent visitor as the API gets a workout.
