The Retweet Button from Tweetmeme makes it easy for your blog's readers to share your blog posts with their Twitter followers with the click of the mouse.
The Positives of the Retweet Button from Tweetmeme
The Retweet Button is very easy to add to your blog because there are plugins available (find theme here) for most of the popular blogging applications that help you install it in a snap. Since the Retweet Button appears alongside of every post that you publish on your blog once it's installed, your readers can pick and choose the posts they want to tweet about. You can even install the Retweet Button in your RSS feed, in your emails, or on other Web sites. Also, the Retweet Button publicizes the number of times people have retweeted your blog post, which is particularly useful for a well-trafficked blog to show off its popularity.
The Negatives of the Retweet Button from Tweetmeme
If your blog is not heavily trafficked, then you might not want to display the number of times people have tweeted your blog posts. If very few people are tweeting your content, you don't want to give new visitors the wrong impression that your content isn't good. Also, when a visitor clicks the Retweet Button to tweet your blog post to their followers, they don't have the opportunity to revise the text being tweeted. For example, if they want to add their own opinion to the tweet, they can't do so.
The Bottom-Line about the Retweet Button from Tweetmeme
Overall, the Retweet Button from Tweetmeme is an excellent Twitter app that encourages people to share your content with a larger audience. If you don't want to publish the number of times your content is retweeted or if you want people to be able to edit their tweets, you can use the TwitThis Twitter app.
