Tech: OK, we take it back. TweetMeme and Twitter are still buddies

  • In case you haven’t seen, that Tweet Button has launched. And rather than being a half-baked thang, it’s totally full-baked, with lots of early support out of the gate. And rather than taking the scorned lover role like it seemed at first, TweetMeme is an equal partner here. “Firstly we will be assisting Twitter with the technical challenges involved with the button,” wrote TweetMeme CEO Nick Halstead, “and secondly we will be working even more closely in the future on delivering real-time curation of the Twitter Firehose.” Oh, yeah, check this out. Those buttons were just the start. DataSift is the future. source
