We’re pleased to announce that the TweetMeme Button Chrome Extension is now available for download from the Chrome Extensions website.

The extension allows you to take a little version of the TweetMeme Button with you everywhere on the web, showing live tweet counts for pages you are viewing, as well as providing quick tweeting of whatever you’re currently looking at.

Our standard Retweet Button is massively popular, and over half a billion of them are seen every day across a huge range of websites. But that doesn’t mean there will always be a retweet button at hand when you need one. So with the Chrome Extension, as soon as you discover the next hot article, blog post, picture or video, with just a few clicks you can have your customised tweet dispatched to your followers.

Help and support for the extension is available on our help forum.

With the Next 09 Conference starting out today and continuing through to tomorrow we’ve added a TweetMeme feed showing the news and pictures coming out of the site.  The links so far are looking interesting and I’m sure they will continue to fly in and make for some really interesting reading for anyone who’s looking to what’s going to be the next big thing on the web.
