Twitter users blessed with the new Retweet functionality, as explained in our visual guide, will be logging in to find that the new beta feature is no longer available. The removal of the new feature comes only days after it was introduced, with Twitter putting the removal of the feature down to numerous bug errors.

A transcript from a developer IRC channel was posted over at TheNextWeb, showing that Twitter developers were still trying hard to mend the bug problem, without giving much away.

However, it’s not all bad news, as the Twitter team promised Wednesday that the feature will be back once all bugs are fixed, but this time to all users.

Twitter’s Status Blog said:

We’re working on a few problems related to the ongoing rollout. These should be resolved quickly and it will be back on for those who had the Retweet feature previously. And we’ll then continue the incremental rollout of this feature to everyone.

The new remake of the Retweet function made way for considerable changes on the website. It allowed users to keep track of how many people had retweeted their status update (and who), as well as saving precious characters. A new tab in the sidebar could show a user three tabs for different kinds of retweets (by the user, by others and the user’s tweets, retweeted). The only downside was the function working only on the Twitter website, not third-party clients.

Be sure to let us know what you think of the new Retweet function (if you were lucky enough to have the beta) in the comments below.

Admit or not, we all have our little secret methods of deciding whether to follow someone on Twitter or not. Luckily, the guys over at TechCrunch shed some light on the Golden Ratio theory of following users on Twitter.

The Golden Ratio, or the followers versus following theory is something that most Twitter power users seem to use. When you first join Twitter, you don’t look twice into the details of the person who is following you. But after your followers number increases, things tend to change.

The Twitter timeline tends to get a little polluted with irrelevant tweets after you have more than one or two hundred followers. Not everything in your stream is relevant to you anymore and a filtering system must come into place. That’s where the Golden Ratio theory becomes handy.

The Golden Ratio method is quite simple: the less people someone follows and the more people are following that person, the user becomes more follow-worthy.

Even though it might not sound as the fairest method to judge whether to follow someone or not, this makes it quite easy to find out which users have the best signal to noise ratio.

So, if the number of followers a user has is greater than the number of people that certain user is following, the TechCrunch guys say that it could be worth clicking through that person’s profile.

But if a person follows significantly more people than the number of users it is followed by, then you should probably think twice before following back.

Do you use the Golden Ratio method to decide which users are worthy of following on Twitter or you have some other mechanism of selecting who you follow back? Sound off in the comments.
