Add Retweet Function To Your Blog with Topsy
When someone talks about adding retweet functionality to blogs, many bloggers jump to the conclusion and assume the best service out there for such a function is the one offered by Tweetmeme. Don’t get me wrong. Tweetmeme is a wonderful service that makes it easier for people to not only find your posts but also help spread the words around them. But it’s not the only game in town. Topsy is another top Twitter aggregator that can help your content go viral fast. It’s easy to implement as well.
Topsy provides you with numerous ways to add its service to your blog. You can easily grab a piece of code from Topsy.com and post it to your blog to let your visitors retweet your posts and find out which one of your posts are popular.If you happen to run your blog on Wordpress, you can just download the plugin offered by Topsy.
I have talked about how I use Topsy to develop new blogging ideas and find people to follow on Twitter. The interface is very easy to get a hang on, and there is plenty of data aggregation going on in the back. Many assume that Tweetmeme is the only game in town, but Topsy has quickly closed the distance. In fact, Topsy buttons are much more website friendly than Tweetmeme’s. If you happen to be a developer, you can probably do more neat things with Otter. As it things stand today, Topsy provides you with enough tools to encourage your visitors to promote your posts.
