Tweetmeme vs Twitter Button

[Thos003]

So I am curious as to what benefits to each of these plugins would outweigh one or the other.

I began using the Tweetmeme plugin for our main blog because it offered the option to use our own bit.ly pro short code. +1 for branding. Plus I think there is some value in having your site and link on tweetmeme, but  I overheard that Twitter's own Tweet Button for blogs offers better SEO than the Tweetmeme for blogs.

I am out of my area of expertise. Any thoughts?

Hi Thomas! That's a great question. Rae Hoffman actually wrote a really excellent post recently talking about she swtiched from the TweetMeme button vs the official Twitter one. I highly recommend checking it out: Why I Switched from TweetMeme to the Official “Tweet Button”.

The feature I like best is that you can set up the official twitter button to recommend Twitter accounts!

Hope this helps,

Jen
