TweetMeme

Recently I've been seeing these handy little retweet (RT) buttons on a number of blog posts that I've read. What's nice about this RT button is that if you like the post, it's very easy to simply RT it to your Twitter followers.

TweetMeme  is a service which aggregates all the popular links on Twitter to determine which links are popular. TweetMeme categorizes these links into Categories, Subcategories and Channels, making it easy to filter out the noise to find what you're interested in. It's easy for you to subscribe to each category and the most popular through their RSS feeds and Twitter accounts.

By using the TweetMeme Button, you can discover new content and tweet about it. However, you do need to set up an account before you'll be able to use the button. The button provides a fully integrated URL shortener and the title of the story or page. Each link, which is posted on Twitter, adds one to the tweet count for that story. Once the story has reached a critical mass of tweets, it makes it into the top 10 on the front page and gets tweeted by TweetMeme's Twitter account.

Each story on TweetMeme has a TweetMeme Button which integrates both the current number of tweets that story has and allows you to easily retweet the link. You can also leave comments on every story featured on TweetMeme, with the option of retweeting the best comments out to Twitter.

Install the  TweetMeme Button quickly and easily on your website or blog, and let your users quickly and easily retweet your stories straight from your website. They currently offer a plug-in for Wordpress, but since I use Typepad for my blog, I have to manually cut and paste the script into each blog post at this time.
