Facebook Re-tweet Feature?

I prefer twitter, rather than facebook. Sorry to say, but I think, Facebook is good at copying other social networking features to enrich itself. And now, it's Twitter re-tweet feature that Facebook going to catch-up.

Up until now there has been no way to share other people's status updates with the rest of your friends, but Facebook has decided to change this by adding some new functionality which will sit next to the Comment and Like buttons at the bottom of a post.

Interestingly, the Twitter retweet was originally started by users of the site who felt that a particular tweet needed spreading to the masses.

Now that Twitter has actually made the option official, it does seem that a lot of people are shunning this method for the plain old RT.
