Twitter jumps on the button bandwagon

Twitter released a new button last week that provides an easy way to retweet articles and blog posts without having to copy/paste and switch between programs. This is not exactly a revolutionary function. In fact, TweetMeme (which apparently helped Twitter develop their button) has been providing this functionality for some time, but with Facebook's Like button and Google's Buzz button appearing all over sites, it made sense for Twitter to reinforce the brand with this tool.
