Answers to Common Questions: What are you replying to? And what does “RT” mean?
On Mimo, some of the common questions we see revolve around Replies and the Copy/RT function:
1. “Huh? What update is my friend replying to? What is he talking about?”
There are two parts to know when it comes to Replies.
The first is how to reply:

Let’s look at Eduard’s update as an example. When you hover on any update, you will see some actions you can take with that update on the lower right (left of the photo). You can Favorite it (it’s like a bookmark), Reply @, or Copy it.
If you click Reply @, Mimo will know that you are replying specifically to that update.
When Mimo replies to Eduard’s update about the rehearsal, it will look like this:
![1270693840546413_file[1]](http://fs1.mimo.vn/data4/2010/04/08/040/1270693840546413_file.png)
Some points to notice in this update:
- @eduard means the update is directed at Eduard (it’s a public update, however)
- Below “awesome photo!” is “in reply to Eduard”. If you hover on that, you will notice you can click on it, taking you to see what that person is replying to. This is how you can track to what someone is referring.

Click on “in reply to Eduard” and you will be taken to Eduard’s original post.
So that’s pretty simple right? (Note: if you manually type @ in the update box, this is considered a general reply, and Mimo will not be able to tell if you are replying to another update specifically. This also applies to SMS replies.)
2. “I see RT on updates sometimes. What does that mean?”
RT is short for Retweet. Retweet is a popular term first created by the users of the popular service Twitter. Retweet basically means to copy or forward someone else’s update. You use it when you see someone else writing something interesting and you’d like to share it with your followers.

A few moments ago, we showed you Reply @. You can find the “Copy” button next to it, on the right. When you “Copy” a post, you will be taken back to the update box.

Above, we see RT @Eduard Waiting….
Again, RT just means you’re forwarding the post. Mimo copies the original text of the update alongside any attachment for you automatically. Anyone who reads your update can tell that you are simply copying Eduard’s update and the following is what he said. You can edit the text or add your comment (we recommend adding comments at the beginning of the update) to what Eduard said as well.
