On Twitter a Retweet can be a valuable way to share information with your network, build your following and pay homage to the person retweeted. If you are in a Twitter application there is likely a RT button. On Twitter if you click the retweet link under the post it will retweet it for you but will not allow you to edit.

Even if they don’t ask for your password you can bet an HR person will have googled you and viewed your profiles on Linkedin,Twitter, Facebook and Google+ at the very least.

You don’t have to use Twitter to join Periscope. I still recommend it if you have a Twitter acct as Periscope can leverage the social graph to spread the word about your video stream, but if you don’t have a Twitter account you can simply sign up with just a mobile phone number. Create your username.

Streaming right into Youtube is nice, to be sure, but I’ll give it up for downloading the stream from Blab or embedding it into my website. Both apps allow some engagement with your Twitter following, and Meerkat also gives the option to connect to your Facebook account. Bottom line.

Then, just in time for Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, Twitter re-launched Periscope , another real time video app that streams directly to Twitter which they just acquired.
