If you read blogs, you might already be aware of how popular Twitter can be with blog posts.  More and more you  are going to notice some sort of Retweet button on blogs. These buttons allow you to send out a Tweet on Twitter about the individual post you are viewing. Twitter is becoming more and more popular by the second. Even Martha Stewart is Tweeting!  Up until yesterday I paid no mind to the value of my blog visitors retweeting my posts. I have retweeted things but never sat down to find a way to allow my users to retweet my posts. I just only hoped they would think the post was so awesome that they would just do it manually.

One of the ways that blog viewers can retweet your blog posts is by using TweetMeme. For those that are not familiar with Tweetmeme, it is a service that aggregates links on Twitter to help determine what links are popular. There are a few other services that are similar that you might already be familiar with such as Twitturly and Retweet.com. If you are a Wordpress blogger, you can add a plugin that will automatically place the Tweetmeme Retweet buttons on your blog posts.  You should be able to see one in the upper right corner of this post. Tweetmeme also has a  plugin for Blogger, Typead, Joomla, Windows Live Writer, Drupal and B2Evolution. They also have a Retweet chicklet and other Retweet buttons to use if  you are posting via email, on a website, etc. With the Wordpress plugin, you have access to view Tweet stats which might help you see which of your Tweets are most popular. You can see how many tweets you are receiving in 24 hours. For the advanced Tweetmeme users with an App ID and App Key, you have access to a powerful analytics package too!

I have added the TweetMeme to almost all my Wordpress blogs. I am hoping to see some sort of increase in my stats using it.
