The retweet function on Twitter allows you to repost someone's tweet to your own followers with a single click. The entire tweet appears to your followers as the original poster tweeted it, including the person's username, with a "Retweeted by [your username]" sign above it. This is an effective, quick way of passing along useful content on Twitter. However, the official Twitter for Facebook app does not cross-post retweets if you use the retweet function. If you'd like a retweet to repost on Facebook automatically, you can use the Selective Tweets app. You must then manually retweet the post and add the Selective Tweets hashtag at the end of the tweet.

Copy the entire tweet you want to retweet and repost on Facebook, and make a note of the username that posted the original tweet.
Step 6
Type "RT @[username]" in the field under "What's Happening?" at the top of the Twitter homepage while logged in, where "[username]" is the person who originally posted the tweet you'd like to retweet.
