Today we are launching a shiny new TweetMeme competition. As many of you know, we recently released our new TweetMeme platform which included our comments system. Well just to get you all started using the system and to see how you find the comment system we thought we’d have a little fun in the form of our comments competition.  Here’s how it will work.

The Best Comment

What we are looking for is the best comment that you can create around one of the posts on our site.  The comment must be created on our system and re-tweeted through the site.  The individual with the highest number of re-tweets of a comment will win our competition.

How to enter

STEP 1 – Login

Login to TweetMeme (this requires a Twitter account – if you don’t have one? go here

STEP 2 – Find

Find a story that you find interesting – click on comments – or the ‘more’ button.

STEP 3 – Comment

Leave a comment and have it send it back to Twitter (this is the default behaviour) – get your friends to retweet your comment.

STEP 4 – Spread the word

Spread the word about the competition and about your comments on our site! Lets see how far and wide you can get your cool and interesting comments. This competition will be running for 7 days 1 month from today and we will do a daily update here on the blog on who our top 10 comment re-tweeters are! We will announce the winner and runners up on the 8th October around 5pm GMT.

PS the most amusing comment that I see may also get a sneaky little prize too! And anyone I see just spamming will get removed! Spam is EVIL!

What could you win?

First Place – An EEE PC Netbook, a TweetMeme Tshirt and stickers.

Second Place – An IPod Touch 16gb , a TweetMeme Tshirt and stickers.

Third Place – A Flip HD, a TweetMeme Tshirt and stickers.

5 Runners up will get a TweetMeme Tshirt and stickers.

    Gosh what about those of us twitters who are also diggers are we going to be counted as spammers if we also comment and submit stories because some of us can submit alot of stories.
