A while ago we looked at a great way to find your own content links on Twitter.

That’s great when you want to find out who your real fans, friends and allies on Twitter are.

But what if you want to do the opposite, kind of, and find out what are the hottest topics being linked to right now on Twitter – by category?

Why, then you go ahead and turn to the warm embrace of TweetMeme.

TweetMeme helps you find the hottest links on Twitter... including your own!

Perhaps you already know sites like TechMeme, who go through the trouble of mechanically listing the most popular blog posts in the blogosphere, giving you an idea what are the hot topics so you can carefully choose your own?

Well, if you want to do the same on Twitter to enlarge your influcence (and gain more relevant followers while you’re at it), then TweetMeme is the place to go.

You’ll find three specific ‘levers’ on TweetMeme to help you find the links tweeted just for your niche:

Filter by subject matter, form of media and recency. Gives you exactly what you need for your niche.

That’s all fine and good you say, but what about MY links?

Well, one thing you can do is install the TweetMeme Wordpress plugin on your blog.

After you do that, you’ll have the TweetMeme retweet button visible, which easily allows your blog to be retweeted. The button also provides a current count of how many times your story has been retweeted throughout twitter.

That’s a pretty good way to show off your social media mojo on your blog, yeah?
