Following the announcement of Microsoft Office 2010 a few weeks ago, I decided it was time to create a channel dedicated to it, as the river was flooding with the latest stories.

The final channel going live today is the Recession and Economy channel. As this is an issue which is going to be affecting everyone in the forseeable future, I expect this will be a popular channel. Follow the Recession and Economy channel to keep up-to-date with the latest stories!
There are a couple of new channels today; the first is a Harry Potter channel, which I was personally very excited about creating! Following the release of the latest movie in the series (The Half-Blood Prince) last week, the river has been filling up with stories about the famous fictional wizard.

The final new channel I am releasing today is the Climate Change channel. As this is a popular topic currently over the news it seemed an appropriate channel to launch.

Although my golfing knowledge is limited, many of our Tweetmeme users do share an interest in Golf. With the beginning of the 2009 British Open today, I decided ths was a great opportunity to set up a new channel, especially as the river is going to be full of the latest golf stories from the British Open!

Today I launched a new channel which is bound to be a popular channel with our Tweetmeme users, as it will give you all the top stories about wine!
The channel will give you information about wines, provide updates about upcoming wine events, and inform you about the health advantages (and risks) about drinking wine. Keep up to date with this exciting new channel here: Wine Channel
Having been down to the Channel 4 Education event earlier in the week which I have to say was an outstanding event. It left a lot of food for thought and got me thinking. As a result I’m looking into what we should be putting into an Education category and have just created a Moodle channel which is starting to fill out with content.
I’m hoping that this will become a useful resource for those in education or other areas that will find the content useful. If anyone can think of any other channels then do let me know…
So I’ve been going through adding a couple of new TweetMeme channels today and the two key ones of the day are the San Diego Comic Con Channel and the Tour De France channel.
The Tour De France starts tomorrow so it’s already starting to fill with stories around the competitiors and the locations. Keep an eye on it if you’re a cycling fan! I’m sure it will be an interesting one for anyone who likes this sort of thing.
The San Diego Comic Con Channel is one that I personally have a big interest in as I really enjoyed my time there a few years back. To me it was the best Comic Con that I’ve ever been to. It’s full or amazing artists and some of the rarest comic collections around. There are some great auctions that go on there as well!

This evening whilst at a roller disco (don’t ask!) i heard the news that Michael Jackson had been taken to hospital and early reports were pronouncing him dead.
In order to keep up with the stories and what was becoming news I went back to the Michael Jackson channel that I creates to follow the news around his concerts. No surprise but it’s now starting to fill up with the latest confirmed and unconfirmed stories.

Today we launched http://TweetTabs.com, a new web-based twitter search + trends client. It is a simple, ultra fast and ultra leightweight interface to search and trends for Twitter. It also incorporates integration with TweetMeme to show previews of stories so you can be sure on what you are viewing. TweetTabs was born from ‘20% project’ created by our designer/JavaScript Samurai @dtsn (twitter.com/dtsn)
Core features
- tabs! open as many individual tabs with different search results in each
- Integration with the TweetMeme API to allow users to preview short url’s (including ability to one-click retweet if you are logged into tweetmeme)
- drag/drop each tab to change ordering
- one-click trending topics to open new ‘tabs’
- Retweet, View Profile, Reply to tweets (via the twitter web interface)
- Remembers your tabs between sessions
- Adaptive search poll rate (we make sure we don’t kill the twitter search even with lots of tabs open)
TweetTabs marks the start of a range of complimentary services that we will be launching over the coming months.
Today we updated the TweetMeme site with some new features and some UI changes. We are hoping that this will help you find your way around the site easier and quicker as well as find additional information on re-tweets around your stories.
So first of all we added the Follow on Twitter link. This gives users the ability to follow a specific channel or the top level TweetMeme accoount. You’ll find the Follow next to our Subscribe button and under the Sign in area on the top right of the page.
Secondly we’ve made it easier to find our channels on TweetMeme. So now you can find our channels in our sub menu next to the Live button, as well as down the right hand side of our site showing the top channels on TweetMeme.
We have a variety of different channels that may be of interest to our readers including the recently added World Wide Developer Conference Channel and the Le Mans racing channel amongst others.
And finally we’ve done an update on our TweetMeme button. The basics of the button remain the same, it still does the re-tweets via the re-tweet section of the button, but now we’ve also linked the top part of the button to the story page on TweetMeme relating to that story. This means that people can see the most recent re-tweets from people and the trending graph of re-tweets for that story.
We hope you like the updates and if you find any bugs or have any suggestions relating to these new features then please let us know over on our forum.
So that you can follow the latest news and announcements coming out of Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference we’ve set up a TweetMeme channel for the event. The rumours have already started and people are making their predictions on what is being announced. You’ll also find the links to the big news sites live blogging the details as they are announced.
Also if you’re on the go or prefer getting your updates via twitter, we’ve also created a twitter account just for the announcements so that you don’t miss the important news.
