On that note, this also raises the point that if I, for example,
don't see one of my subscriptions' notices that has been repeated (or
forwarded or whatever), but then another user I'm subscribed to also
repeats or forwards the same notice, I would like both to appear in my
timeline since I may get to see the second but not the first.
Furthermore, the notion of repeatedly seeing the same or similar notices
from various people gives me an important peripheral awareness of how
many in my network are thinking about the same topic at any given time.
This is something I've come to rely on as I began to follow more and
more people, so I actually appreciate seeing multiple "retweets" from
different people multiple times.

Taking the comparison again to Facebook's "like", one of the nice things
is that when you're looking at an update it shows you who of your
friends (or how many if there's a whole lot!) pushed that button, which
gives you an idea how popular it is.
Within the web view at least it should be pretty straightforward to show
you how many people have forwarded a notice, rather than just the first
person to have forwarded it to you.
Unless we actually bump the notice up to the top of your inbox (which
might be confusing), I'm not quite sure how to handle the case where you
just miss seeing or forget about the original even though it was in your
notice stream... if you never see it again, you'll never see that
popularity indicator. :(
