There are times it works; if you're at a big event or a new restaurant and you want to add some brief commentary. But at McDonald's? No one cares.  How about: Be selective when Tweeting through Foursquare. There are times it works; if you’re at a big event or a new restaurant and you want to add some brief commentary.

And will rarely be retweeted if they have to modify the tweet by removing words. Thus you must count the number of characters in your username and add 3 more for the RT. For instance, if I want to ensure an easy RT for @BradleyGauthier, I must make my tweet 21 characters short. Chris Brogan explains this  concept and more in his Twitter article.

"If you think all of this information belongs to you your wrong. If you share knowledge from the framework of helping people solve real problems, then you'll become rich beyond belief" I think an altruistic approach is the best way to Win friends and influence people on Twitter. As a self-admitted, former Troll (weren't we all?) at one time I now see the intangible value in sharing the "wealth" via retweets.

I think some people simply retweet for the joy of retweeting. They may skim the title but they are posting more out of habit than any thing substantial. You are right.

I actually adopted some of these methods early on but I'm still one to actually put in the work to edit down a tweet that I think is useful information that is worth sharing. One has to be quite limber to bend through the myriad of SEO and social media hoops these days but I suppose the benefits outweigh the work so its all well worth it. These are some great tips.
