It's definitely a side project — we're all busy with other things
(i.e. jobs) but we've been able to attract some help, which is good.
Not a lot of buzz around it, but also, not a real effort to get buzz.
We'll see how it goes, but it could be really cool.

I love these types of projects. I was thinking about something similar - glad to see you nailed it. How's the reaction been? Dan, congrats with the entrepreneurial endeavor.

The advantages of bitly: it's not limited to tweets (although in
effect, it may be) and you can score links via clicks — and therefore
engagements — as opposed to shares.

The advantages of tweetmeme: much wider net — I'd bet that it tracks
more tweets (100%?) than bitly does links generally; and it may be
better to score via shares than clicks.

It seems that the problem with tweetmeme is that, although it can determine popularity, it does not indicate which posts are on-topic for Mets. bit.ly suffers from the same problem though.

Couldn't bitme.me be built on tweetmeme instead of bit.ly but be restricted to links in the feeds currently used by bitme.me ?

Just curious.
