DailyRT is another retweet aggregator that ranks tweets by the number of times it is repeated. However, unlike most other aggregation services that simply rank and record top tweets, DailyRT offers several additional functions that make it valuable for social media monitoring and research.

-Direct Retweet – sign in to join the retweeting action.
-Hot Tweets – sorts tweets by rank so you can quickly find the most popular.
-Live Tweets – real-time updates instantly update you on which tweets are on the move (great for events).
-Archive – system saves tweets so you can search past trends.
-Filtering by Topic – sort tweets by keyword or hashtag.
-Filtering by User – sort tweets by # of followers or filter to only those users that you follow.
-Filtering by Time Period – search past tweets by date range.
-Trends – select hot topics suggested by Twitter.
-My Searches – Save searches to easily check updates on your topics.

Of course, a large portion of the top Retweeted are twilebrities with such massive followings that even a small percentage retweeting takes them to the top. But there are also tweets that are just so funny or so interesting that everyone who sees it feels compelled to share.

DailyRT provides the fun of finding tweet gems but also a powerful search interface that allows real tracking and analysis of Twitter trends.
