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!

Major Revamp (part 2)

We have just released the second phase of our major revamp of tweetmeme. In this phase we are bringing you a lot of new and exciting features, including inline images, paging and a tweetmeme button.

The button

We have just launched a retweet button, which enables blog owners and site authors to add the functionality of retweeting their web page. The button also gives you a total number of times your webpage has been tweeted. This tool utilizes the massive power of twitter to help promote your blog.

Paging

Tweetmeme originally only allowed you to browse the top 10 tweets in any one category, now with the paging implemented you can easily browse all the popular tweets on twitter.

If the tweet is a image then we can automatically grab the image and show you a little preview.
