English term or phrase: (to) retweet
Definition from Wiktionary:
To repost another user's message on the social networking website Twitter.

Example sentence(s):
  • As mentioned previously, the likelihood of being on the other end of a retweet increases as you retweet. Retweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness, and for the most part bloggers like to return such acts. This isn’t to say that you should expect someone to retweet your content just because you retweet theirs. Blogging Bits
  • There are no set rules about when to retweet, but in general, you should retweet when you find something particularly interesting or noteworthy. About.com
  • If your original post is close to 140 characters, the person retweeting has to edit your post to send it back out. Smells like work? People won’t make extra effort to retweet you if they have to edit your posts. Chris Pearson

Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  indiralena: I do agree, but I think we have to bear in mind this term is specific to twitter. Statusnet, another microblogging service with the same features, call it "repeat" or "repetir". Each service builds its terminology..

retuitear


Definition from Twitter:
Retweet es una nueva característica de Twitter que ayuda a las personas compartir información rápidamente.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Retuitear" con un solo clic - ABC  
  • Asimismo el twitter te permite borrar esos tweets publicados, enviar mensajes directos a tus amigos o a las personas que desees (esto funciona como una bandeja de entrada), puedes retuitear los mensajes de tu seguidores, personalizar tú perfil, cambiar la contraseña o nombre de usuario, y si no quieres seguir con la cuenta tienes la posibilidad de eliminarla. - Diginota  

Explanation:
Aunque este término es exclusivo de Twitter, casi siempre es más seguro usar la traducción más próxima al contexto para no despistar al lector.
No es posible que la RAE incorpore este término a corto plazo, pero con términos como "güisqui" ha marcado la tendencia de españolizar ciertos anglicismos. Por otra parte, mucha gente usa "tuitear" siguiendo este criterio.
