1. What does PRT stand for on Twitter?

Please retweet

PRT is a polite acronym on Twitter (now "X") for when a user wants to amplify their tweet beyond their immediate follower base. It's a simple request to help spread content, whether it's a cause, an event, or just a particularly insightful or entertaining tweet.

The use of PRT reflects the collaborative spirit of social media, where users support one another by sharing valuable or interesting information. When someone adds PRT, they're hoping followers will share the message with their own networks, effectively increasing its reach.

Example

2. What else does PRT stand for on Twitter?

Partial retweet

When a tweet includes PRT, it might be a "partial retweet." The user who posted this tweet took it from another user, but removed part of the message before reposting it.

Typically, PRTs are condensed to highlight the most pertinent part of the original tweet. Shortening a retweet in this way also allows the retweeter to add their own commentary.

For example, you might see a tweet that reads "Can't believe it. PRT: @AppleNerd Apple to Buy Spotify." The original version of @AppleNerd's tweet likely included more information about the purchase.

Example

PRT @WeatherGal The hurricane ... was a category 5
