If you have been on Twitter for quiet some time now you must already know what RT or Re Tweeted means. Simply put ‘ReTweeting’ is a simple way of re-stating information that has been shared (tweeted) by another user on twitter. It is a way of giving credit to the original source of the information while, at the same time, delivering that information to one’s own followers. The more a piece of information is shared (ReTweeted) the more popular it becomes. dailyRT is able to aggregate this information’s popularity and thus create a list of the most popular ‘tweets’ at any particular time.
DailyRT is a tweet aggregator that gathers the most popular tweets on twitter and displays them using our own scoring algorithm and numerous filters.
Some great uses that we’ve found so far are: discovering tomorrow’s newspaper headlines today, tracking stories as they happen, exploring trends from specific dates in history, and finding out what the cool kids are talking about.
Hot tweets displays tweets in order based on their dailyRT rank and can be filtered by all items in the search box. This is great for doing quick searches for topics of interest.

Then when the event begins you can simply trigger it for live tweets.
