Twitter is of course in the process of rolling out a new retweet feature. The feature adds a retweet button to each tweet on your timeline, much like the "reply" button that has always been there. However, one distinct difference between these two buttons is that where the reply button fills out your form with the proper information ("@username"), the retweet button sends the initial tweet to your followers' timelines without giving you your own tweet.
Update 2 : Twitter is now supporting the French language.
Update: Twitter is now supporting the Spanish language.
Original Article: Twitter announced that it intends to roll out the service in the French, Italian, German, and Spanish languages. Currently it's only available in English and Japanese.
Back in the summer, Twitter announced that it was working on an API to give developers the ability to geotag tweets. The company has now made that available.
There is no geotagging on Twitter.com yet, but Twitter apps will now be able to support it. So potentially, you will be able to geotag tweets and show the location from where you tweeted.
There's a lot of change going on with Twitter these days. Recently we got the highly-anticipated Lists feature, which helped us to organize our streams and discover new, interesting people to follow.
Update 3: Twitter is now telling me that I am part of a beta test group for the retweet features, so I guess it is no longer on hold.
Those who are part of the test get the following message:

Yahoo Search is now including a new Twitter feature in search results for select topics that are in the news. For example, if you search for "health care reform," or "obama," you will get a section for news results, which contains tabs for news, photos, videos, and Twitter.
The results look something like this:

The company says:
