Yesterday 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!

We are on the hunt for intersting, unusual or useful places where you are finding our re-tweet button.  This week has been no exception, interestingly we found that we are now on the Sky Blogs site of all places.  So if you happen to read any of the sky blogs like “The Weather Girls” for example then you can now re-tweet whatever they are talking about!

As you may have already heard we are also on Governor Schwarznegger’s newsroom pages where you can read about his suggestion of replacing textbooks with digital books.  Interestingly that particular story was re-tweeted via our button a number of times and the news of his announcement was debated over on our local radio station BBC Radio Berkshire.  Personally I’m not so sure that completely doing away with paper books is the answer but a combined mix of online text and traditional books is the best solution for me.  I wonder if the local radio station knew that he uses our button too?!  It’s funny how stories end up travelling around the world and mix with local news too.

I’ll be watching the Sky Blogs and looking out for their stories and news popping up on our local radio station or in other random places!  You never quite know where the next hot story will come from these days and Twitter has proven that time and time again.

We’re constantly looking out for sites that are using our button… anything from the most bizarre, obscure or most amusing use of our button on a site!  Where have you seen the button in use?  Where are you finding it most useful?  Are you finding any sites where you wish they had the button?  If so tell us!  We love to hear your stories about the button!

(Random Fact:) 600 million TweetMeme buttons were served last month and we are possibly one of the largest growing re-tweet sites out there at the moment. Last month we grew 120% and we are now starting to see our button pop up all over the place.
