    Online shorthand for passing news along a second time. It sits in three positions. It can be tacked onto a headline in parentheses, as in a 2000 post to the alt.music.billy-joel newsgroup. It can serve as a label with a colon before a link, as Ariel Waldman used it on Twitter in 2007. Or it can open a sentence, set off by a comma.
