“Please ReTweet!”

Out of the top 10 ReTweeted words used on Twitter,’please’and ‘retweet’ - “…please, retweet!” – comes in second and third respectively.
Asking around, others shared my feeling that it sounds cheesy and cheap to ask for your Tweet to be ReTweeted. However, the math proves this works – and you can’t argue with math.
But why does this work? Social media is based on people participating with the intention of sharing and helping. “Please, retweet”, works because of the empathy we have for one another.
