On Tuesday we promised regular updates on who the top commenters are on our site that are getting re-tweeted for their comments in the TweetMeme Comment competition so here goes in most re-tweeted order!

1. @erickschonfeld

Comment: “working memory” is overrated anyway.

2. @virtuosoblogger

Comment:  These ipods will include cameras that is great!. I think that was much needed

3. @mimipoosh

Comment: spending time with psychologists will permanently impair human intelligence.

4. @msniqueew

Comment: On Joe Wilson: ‘You’ve Embarrassed The Nation’

5. @mirala90

Comment: 09/09/09 is the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we’ll not see for almost a century

6. @ProudAtheists

Comment: I value and enjoy things. Belief is an overused word in the US.
Comment: For those who have not witnessed religious “nuttery” at it’s best, watch these videos.

7. @herdboy

Comment: Looking forward to that, hope its API related
Comment: II found this on the Twetmeme Blog . It basically means that if you are logged on here and happen to tweet from anywhere via the Tweetmeme buton, the tweet is posted automatically without intervention from you.

Quote follows:
The current retweet button is a clever little thing – it can redirect you to Twitter to retweet but also if your logged into TweetMeme (via OAuth) it sends the tweet behind the scenes and leaves you on the site you were currently browsing, this we call ‘one-click retweeting’. The downside is that Javascript can only live in certain places on the web, i.e. in a web browser.

8. @thefranchiseca

Comment: We can finally announce our move!

9. @Jnicks

Comment: DOWNLOAD THIS SONG IF YOU LIKE AND GIVE IT TO YOUR FAV DJ

10. @codenamemax

Comment: Pretty Elzabeth Arden is the inspiration for the Make the World a Prettier place campaign http://codenamemax.com/

Curious about our competition and what you might win… (there are some pretty nice prizes so it’s worth taking a peak!)  You’ll find all the details in our Competition blog post.  Get Commenting and Get Re-Tweeting!

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.

Terms & Conditions for this competition can be found here.

The results sticker competition of the sticker competition are in, and for such a short competition (less than 24 hours) we did get a lot of entries and some really great ideas, so thanks to those who spent time thinking these up and to those who obviously had nothing better to do at work that day (cough @amykate) we salute you all.

Results

We voted via a process of sticks, score cards, hand raising, Google docs spreadsheet (we are geeks remember!) each team member having between 1 and 5 points to assign to their top five favorite entries.

First Prize

Number: 404
Quote: Tweet Not Found
Submitted By: Sampicli (multiple people did submit this but Sampicli was first)

This was by far the clear winner, and being a very geeky reference I am sure will be very popular. For those non-geeks 404 refers to a missing webpage. The winner will receive 50 of the stickers.

Second Prize

Number: 69
Quote: Tweeting me, Tweeting you
Submitted By: holytshirt

Second place goes to the smutty minded, and if you don’t understand the reference I suggest you go ask mummy to explain the birds and the bees. The winner will receive 25 of the stickers.

Third Prize

Number: 1
Quote: to rule them all
Submitted By: Laura.2mdc

This is actually my personal favorite and I will be getting some t-shirts done up with this design as well. The reference refers to The Lord of the Rings and the One Ring that Sauran made for himself to have dominion over everyone else (very apt I thought). The winner will receive 10 of the stickers.
