Hey,
Just wanted toclarify what is and isn't supported at the moment - and
to explain the problem Adam is seeing.
The Search API still supports searching by domain and matching
shortened links. Remember that Search doesn't contain a complete index
of Tweets but is instead based around relevance. This means not all
Tweets are represented. If a Tweet contains a shortened URL - and we
were able to expand that URL before indexing - it will be found. Also
remember the search index is only ~5 days and so Tweets made before
them will not be found.
The 'expand URL' feature you are referring to in Search is a visual
element and doesn't reflect if a URL has been expanded or not.
For the Streaming API our engineers are working on support for
entities, which will allow t.co URLs to match to their expanded URLs.
In the Tweet Button, the counturl is still a supported and useful parameter.
Adam: in the example you give the URL and counturl are the same -
which is wrong. Instead you want users to Tweet the short URL, but
Twitter to count the expanded form. This means the
http://sbn.to/dB76xp URL should be the data-url parameter and the
data-counturl should be:
http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2010/9/26/1712470/arizona-california-final-pac-10-crazy
Hope that helps,

Interesting...that explains why it used to work and then it stopped. Is
there any sort of official statement as to whether this is a bug, a
temporary issue, or whether counturl is now useless? Or is there just
speculation? I wasn't able to find much at all about this before I posted
in the group.
We've had enough users complaining that we had to revert to the BackType
button...
