Support Twitter's native retweet feature
Support Twitter's native re-tweet feature, which explicitly tracks re-tweets and allows retweeting the full 140 chars - instead of the current hack of "RT " followed by an @mention followed by part of the original tweet.
Hi Graham,
That’s a great suggestion and we are looking into this right now. I think it would absolutely be great to be able to retweet natively and I think it’ll be very powerful also. This is very high up on our list, I will be sure to keep you posted on this here!
Please feel free to give me a shout here or on Twitter @bufferapp any time! :)

I got a tweet regarding this feature and how it should be possible now via the Chrome extension, but it still shows up as an "old-school" RT. Am I missing something?

PS: I have actually not used buffer, pretty much since I discovered it two years ago, because of this.

Yeah, what Alex said. Come Buffer, this is pretty lame.

The problem with the buffer RT is that the original Tweet's icon is replaced by the retweeter's which is not very friendly. The only reason I use the buffer RT is to track clicks on my RT. I would much rather give credit to the originator by using their icon. Please offer this!!

Agree! I actually prefer the new RT style vs old gobbly-gook look.

I like the ability to use RT through buffer, so if supporting native re-tweet, please keep the current system as an option.

Awesome. Please also keep the current 'RT' @mention system, with the option to use twitter's native system, or vice-versa

I wonder why they won't implement this. It's so easy.

I really hate the fake RT retweets. Considering not using bufferapp for retweets any longer.
