Twitter claim that this function improves retweets and encourages people to tweet more. So, if you feel that joke you tweeted an hour ago sunk quicker than an Oreo in a glass of milk, it might still have some legs in it yet.

The feature launches today (10 February). Let us know how y'all get on with it on, well, Twitter @PopBuzz.
