CNET:

There’s some chest-thumping going on over at TweetMeme, a service that rounds up “retweets” of popular links–much like Digg buttons–and aggregates them into a central site. A rival site, ReTweet, just announced its impending launch, and TweetMeme thinks the two are too similar.

More specifically, according to a blog post by TweetMeme’s Nick Halstead, ReTweet’s “retweet button Javascript and the Wordpress plugin code seemed to have been directly copied from ours.” He said that TweetMeme is “seeking further legal advice.”
