Twitter takes back the "tweet" button

Today, Twitter announced that they are launching their very own “Tweet Button.” The new button: “Lets you share links directly from the page you’re on. When you click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear — pre-populated with a shortened link that points to the item that you’re sharing.” The service will replace the more common and widely used tweet-button created by TweetMeme.

Hit the jump to check out a video of how the new Tweet Button is going to work.
