MemeTweets is our first Android application and showcases what we can do with various APIs including:
- Android
- YQL
- Tweetmeme
But what is MemeTweets? Well it’s a cunning play on words… Ok it’s not really but as the app uses the Tweetmeme API extensively we can’t call the app Tweetmeme.
The app allows you do view the most popular links that have been shared and retweeted on Twitter. You can filter down serveral layers of categories to get stories for a specific topic. You can even search for the specific stories. This part of the app uses the Yahoo Query Language to access Tweetmeme as they do not offer search functionality in their API.
The app uses standard android features and has a intuitive user interface. Below are some comments from the beta testers. We’d like to thank the beta tests. Their efforts made the first version of the app much better with several bugs being squashed.

Good FAST app, that’s useful for not only finding out current Twitter trends, but also news & current affairs in general.

Navigation intuitive… Good work!

The app is great.
