Do you see that TweetMeme button on the top right of this post?

See it?

Click it!

Go ahead click it and it will show you that I’m using TweetMeme correctly.

What do you see in the pop up box?

You see RT @benspark – twitter message. That is my twitter name and that means that whenever someone retweets my posts using TweetMeme they are giving ME a RT.

What I see on so many other blogs is this: RT @tweetmeme twitter message. Do you see what YOU are missing out on?

By having TweetMeme as the source of the RT you are giving Tweet Juice to TweetMeme and not to yourself.

You wrote the post and everyone who is retweeting the post should be retweeting you, not TweetMeme.

There is a simple fix, though.

Go to the TweetMeme settings area in your blogging software. There is a field for source. Put your twitter name into that field.

Save the settings.

Done.

Now you are using TweetMeme to your advantage.
