ReTweet Button | Tweetmeme Wordpress Plugin

Tweetmeme is a service which aggregates all the popular links on twitter to determine which links are popular. Tweetmeme is able to categorize these links into categories and subcategories, making it easy to filter out the noise to find what your interested in.

What is that, really? Well, I am not going to rewrite something that is already perfect, so if you don’t know what it is check out the ReTweet Guide over at Mashable.com. Ben Parr gives a great intro to re-tweeting and which programs you can use to get started with Twitter.

Ben says;

“Retweeting is an integral part of the Twitter experience. The retweet (or “RT”) allows Twitter users to share the best links, tweets, and gems they find from others using the service. But for beginners, it’s not immediately obvious what retweets are, or what tools to use to make retweeting easier.”

Retweet Button

Install the Tweetmeme WordPress Plugin and get a cool little retweet button like I have in the top right of this post.

The retweet button is for website and blog publishers that want to encourage their audience to retweet their content on twitter.

I have spent many hours on sites like Digg, Reddit, Mixx and StumbleUpon, but now I feel that I don’t need them any more. With Twitter (using Seesmic Desktop) I get all the same information I would want from those sites, and more!

If you do not have this plugin, or another way to retweet your content you are falling behind fast, IMO.
