Tweetdeck and other services don't process the retweets the same thats why they appear.

Sounds like Twitter needs to do some fixing.

The tweets that I make myself are coming through fine. The one tweet where I clicked on the new "Retweet" button on the twitter website did not come through on the feed. There should have been a tweet between "RT @MOCAlosangeles William Leavitt, Allen Ruppersberg & Carole Ann Klonarides talk about life before MOCA tomorrow nite http://bit.ly/3P8KnD" and "RT @TylerGreenDC: Looking forward to seeing how the story around Richard Serra's landmark 'Shift' plays out: http://bit.ly/50rr5." It appears on my twitter profile but not on the blog. I've also tested using the twitter generated widget on another website and these "Twitter Retweets" (using the website button) do not come through on that either. I'm beginning to think this is the way it is designed. Which means no new "Twitter Retweet" button for me. I'll keep doing it the old fashioned way, or just reword everything and make it my own.

While the tweet I retweeted is appearing in my profile on twitter (http://twitter.com/artwhirled) (the one about the Santa Monica cultural affairs manager) it is not getting picked up in the twitter widget I have in my sidebar on my blog (http://artwhirled.wordpress.com). Is this a bug in the widget that doesn't account for the new retweet function, or is this the way it is designed to work? If this is by design, then the new retweet button is useless to me.
