For example, let's say JohnSmithABC tweets "I had a great day! I went shopping."

JaneDoeXYZ retweets that tweet. Now, JaneDoeXYZ's RSS feed has a new entry with this title:

RT by @/JaneDoeXYZ: I had a great day! I went shopping.

If I were reading through my RSS feed quickly, I might not notice that the person who wrote the original tweet was somebody different than JaneDoeXYZ.

I think it would be beneficial if the RSS entry's title looked something like this instead:

RT by @/JaneDoeXYZ: @/JohnSmithABC: I had a great day! I went shopping.

In an RSS feed, when a user retweets a tweet, the username of that original tweet's author does not appear in the title. If the retweeter and the original tweet's author are different people, this could cause confusion as to who wrote the original tweet. For example, let's say JohnSmithABC tweets "I had a great day! I went shopping." JaneDoeXYZ retweets that tweet. Now, JaneDoeXYZ's RSS feed has a new entry with this title: **RT by @/JaneDoeXYZ: I had a great day! I went shopping.** If I were reading through my RSS feed quickly, I might not notice that the person who wrote the original tweet was somebody different than JaneDoeXYZ. I think it would be beneficial if the RSS entry's title looked something like this instead: **RT by @/JaneDoeXYZ: @/JohnSmithABC: I had a great day! I went shopping.**
