What's the difference between a retweet and reply? A retweet looks just like a reply with a quote of what was replied to. Is there anything else different.

Typically, a "retweet" is what you call it when you're merely quoting someone else's tweet with the purpose of sharing what they said with your friends list. A "reply" is not a quote, but rather a response to someone else's tweet.
