There are many tools on the internet for tracking conversations that seem to be happening at the speed of light. For blogs we have tools like Technorati and TechMeme. But the quickest, most dynamic (and sometimes most interesting) conversation threads are happening on Twitter. If you want to track political news on Twitter, we've had Politweets, but what if you just want to track what's being said in general?

To solve this problem, we now have Tweetmeme. This fun little web site is from the creators of Fav.or.it, a soon to launch blog commenting system. Tweetmeme scrapes Twitter data, tracks conversations, and displays them for the world to see. If you are on Twitter, you know that there are many many urls that are passed around like candy at a parade. Tweetmeme wil attempt to provide some content for all this random Twitter activity.

Additionally, Tweetmeme provides an RSS feed for easy access. Also you can look at links categorized into blogs, images, videos, and audio. They have even made it possible to specify a timeframe of twitter activity with a start and end date.
