Twitter launches their own official Tweet button

Twitter has launched their own official Tweet button, similar to TweetMeme. When you click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear that is pre-populated with a shortened link that points to the content you are sharing.

TweetMeme who is currently seeing more than 750 million retweets every day has said they will be helping Twitter working on this new project and offering their expertise.

Here is an official video from Twitter explaining the new service.

TweetMeme is also producting a new product called DataSift which gives developers the ability to leverage cloud computing and build very precise streams of data from tweet and re-tweet information collected every day.

Examples of this product include:

– Tune tweets through a graphical interface or the bespoke programming language available.
– Extend one or more existing streams to create super streams.
