I just came across an article today on the new fad of "re-tweeting". Just when you think you have one trend figured out, a new one appears. Re-Tweeting has gained so much popularity that there is actually a website that keeps track of all the most popular re-tweets. The main catch here though is that people are re-tweeting popular articles in hope that it will gain popularity. Not a bad idea. Twitter has become a great way not only to network with people from around the globe but also shows great potential for marketing. The website is called TweetMeMe and its really quite fascinating to see what the buzz is in the Twitter realm. So if you are a big time writer or a small time blogger and want to get your name out there, start the new trend within your circle of friends of Re-Tweeting and see if you have what it takes to get your link on the top 10 front page of TweetMeMe!
Below I have posted from the TweetMeMe webpage a little more info on what this site is all about:
