During WordCamp Chicago, David Dalka, one of the speakers treaded upon the topic of Tweetmeme. First he asked, “What is the most popular social media site launched in 2009?”
I am sure as you all read that, you thought it was Twitter. Nope! It is Tweetmeme. Tweetmeme is a site that people can tweet through their site and onto Twitter. This means your visitors can tweet it at the click of the Tweetmeme button from your website. In a way, Tweetmeme is a new digg-like resource using Twitter. People are finding relevant topics to bookmark and share with others in a way that is more real-time.
The content on Tweetmeme is categorized and easy to find. If you notice on Blondish.net, there is a Re-Tweet button, which is actually a WordPress plugin that allows you to re-tweet my pages and articles onto Twitter. Pretty cool, huh?
Although I have seen the Tweetmeme button around, I can say that I was not motivated to use it until WordCamp Chicago. My only issue is that the plugin has not turned out to be HTML valid. I want to continue to use this plugin, but it has thrown up 18 errors in the W3 validator.
Do you use Tweetmeme? What do you think of it?

Hi,
The beta version of the TweetMeme button is XHTML and HTML compliant. You can find details of it here: http://blog.tweetmeme.com/2009/06/05/tweetmeme-wordpress-plugin-v142-beta/
If we don’t get any negative feedback we hope to release this tomorrow.

It’s built into my theme. I don’t post enough for it to be worthwhile, but I definitely like the idea and think it could be very worthwhile.
I like the idea because you can just click and feel like you are adding more knowledge to the social streams.
Wow, can I re-use worthwhile some more? Sheesh.
