Today, I noticed ‘retweet’ button on my website wasn’t working. I tried to get to the bottom of issue and found that Tweetmeme service is down today. Tweetmeme outage is worldwide and all the users are affected.

According to Status.tweetmeme.com, a hardware problem has caused the outage and the system would be up and running by 11.20 BST.

Tweetmeme is one of the largest Twitter service which aggregates all the popular links on Twitter to determine which links are popular. TweetMeme categorises these links into Categories, Subcategories and Channels, making it easy to filter out the noise to find what you’re interested in. TweetMeme was built by a small web company called fav.or.it.
