Bieber Mania Comes to TweetMeme!

justin bieberToday we launched our Justin Bieber channel.  We’ve seen so many of your Bieber fans out there commenting on content on TweetMeme that you now have your very own Justin Bieber Channel full of fan and news content sorrounding Justin Bieber and his music.  We’re always looking to see what communities need channels of content and it certainly seems like the Justin Bieber fans need somewhere to share their support for the young star.

Key features of the channel are the ability to comment (and of course retweet that comment to your friends) and have conversations with those who have left comments. You can even put our little green retweet button on your own fan site by grabbing the embed code from here.

UK Snow – Tracking the top Snow Stories

UKSnowYesterday we put together a shiny new TweetMeme Channel called UK Snow to track the top stories being linked to from Twitter.  Initially we created this for our own staff to keep a track of what was happening with the snow in and around Berkshire to know when we should all head home so that we could get back safely.  Well we are all back safely and the channel is still there with some great content around the snow and weather in the UK.

Over night last night  we set up the hosting of the channel to the url http://uk-snow.com so that you can all find it nice and easily.  The channel contains all the latest information and news on the snow situation within the UK.  Reports of news are coming from both traditional and community sources, along with the latest forecast information from the MetOffice and other weather sources within the UK.

We hope that this will help you find interesting news about the snow and weather conditions as well as provide you with the latest information on the severe weather warnings and advisory notices.  The bit I find most interesting is the images as you can see across the country the extent of the snow!

Please help us spread the word so that others may find this useful resource!
