I’ll be the number is not high. The speed Twitter moves I think a lot more people are going to mash the retweet button than the “see edits” button.

Facebooks edit history is also hidden in grey text next to the timestamp. I bet putting a "This tweet has been edited" notice actually inline with the content would be effective.

Exactly my thought.

Also will all the retweets be edited as well or do you retweet a snapshot?
