There’s been all kinds of drama lately about the impending ReTweet.com and how it’s pretty much blatantly copying TweetMeme. It’s gotten to the point where TweetMeme is set to sue ReTweet. This is all very silly but it’s quite apparent that not only is ReTweet ripping off TweetMeme’s idea but even copying their code.
With a little easy digging it is very easy to check out what ReTweet.com will be – aside from the killer domain.
Go to http://174.129.2.195/meme/top/index/ and check out what they are working on. It’s definitely strikingly similar.
But really – who cares?

Andy, a well compared articled. Until now, TweetMeme has dominated the twitter news industry. We hope to offer a valid alternative to the trending topics of the world. Hopefully a little competition can stir this whole social networking thing a little further toward the right direction.
We won't reinvent any wheels. We've got to keep it simple, nothing flashy or distracting. Keep your eyes peeled for our official launch, early next week!
Thanks again.
Competition is always a good thing and we are anxiously awaiting your
release!
Also – your response to the widget copying issue was a great way to
address the situation.
Keep us posted!
