The ability for the twitter plugin to retweet the latest tweet would be pretty rockin'.

Yeah....except unless we start appending a unique id to each tweet to track internally, this will not really work.

There is a high likelihood that by the time you type !retweet and hit enter, that another tweet will come in and you will retweet the wrong tweet!

@marak is right, there would have to be an ID or some way to specify what to RT. Maybe do a hash of the tweet, or tweet id, so you could just !retweet and it would handle the rest.
