Wow, after moving away from automated news discovery to human edited oriented, Techmeme made another ‘quite’ unusual move by accepting tech tips via Twitter.

Twitter, which used mostly by geeks and technologically sound peoples such as bloggers,  often among the first to ‘aired’ the breaking news even before other media caught the story. That means here, Techmeme, as a tech news aggregator really in need of such powerful utility, to get more updated ahead of other news portal and stay relevant to users.

Everyone now has a fair share to have their tech post appear in Techmeme, provided the story is hot enough and of course the folks at Techmeme love it. By now, I think, Techmeme’s twitter account must have been flooded with thousand of tips already, probably including spam

To send a tech tip to Techmeme, just include “Tip @Techmeme” in the message along with the URL of the tech story you’d like to appear. “Tip @TechmemeFH” will works either.

Interestingly,  thesnowballfactory created a ‘Techmeme Button’ to accomplished this task automatically. Do you think this buttion will be another hit, just like social bookmarking such as Digg or Delicious button??
