We cannot get the official Tweet Button to count tweets - it always shows zero.
Here's an example page: http://140plus.com/question/why-do-i-need-nosql-mongodb-cassandra-couchdb-etc-if-i-have-lucene-or-solr/8Tyz1 And the code for the button is: <a href="http://twitter.com/share"; class="twitter-share-button" data-url="http://140-pl.us/8Tyz1"; data-counturl="http://140plus.com/question/why-do-i-need-nosql- mongodb-cassandra-couchdb-etc-if-i-have-lucene-or-solr/8Tyz1" data-via="mrblog" data-text="Why do I need NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB, etc) if I have Lucene (or Solr)?">Tweet</a> The idea is we want to tweet our custom shortened URL specified by the data-url attribute http://140-pl.us/8Tyz1 that redirects to Location: http://140plus.com/question/why-do-i-need-nosql-mongodb-cassandra-couchdb-etc-if-i-have-lucene-or-solr/8Tyz1 And that's the url we want to count, as specified by data-counturl attribute shown above. However, the count stays zero. Here are two tweets of the URL: http://twitter.com/patriottweakers/status/40123917301456896 http://twitter.com/unclefisty/status/40123256140873728 Yet the counter on the tweet button stays at zero. What am I doing wrong? I note that calling the API with the dataurl URL gives: {"count":0,"url":"http://140plus.com/question/why-do-i-need-nosql- mongodb-cassandra-couchdb-etc-if-i-have-lucene-or-solr/8Tyz1/"} Note the URL shown in the result has the "/" appended, even though the URL being passed to the counter API did NOT have the trailing "/" and the url being linked to does NOT have a trailing "/" - not sure if that matters. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
