64% Prefer Old Twitter Retweets to New Style

Credit:

It's been a controversial topic since the new feature was first announced, and the results of this week's poll show that it may still be a contested issue. Eager to see the full results? Head on to find out the final winner...

...old style text-based retweets rule the day! With a 1625 vote (64 percent) lead over the new style "official" retweets at 699 votes (27 percent), the old style "add commentary as you wish" version of amplifying someone else's tweet took the victory by more than a two to one margin. Almost a tenth of you couldn't decide between the two, with a 227 vote (9 percent) tie vote rounding out the poll.

Were you surprised by the results? Do you use one or either version exclusively or both in context? Let us know in the comments, and tune in next week for the next edition of the Faceoff series.
