Hey everyone, This is a repeat of a message on another thread.
I've updated the Tweet Button docs today with information which I hope will answer a number of your questions. In particular the example about using a short URL with the parameter data-counturl should help those of you whose counts are staying at 0. http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button#using-shorturl For reference the documentation URLs are: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button and http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq Hope that helps, Matt On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 2:10 AM, artesea <ryancul...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just tried something else, I click on a tweet containing one of my > short urls > this actually redirects to > http://www.libdemvoice.org/?p=20818&utm_source=tweet&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitter > by setting > data-counturl="http://www.libdemvoice.org/?p=20818"; > it finally counts all the posts. > > If you are still seeing zeros, double check to see where you exactly > redirect to. > > Regards > Ryan > > On Aug 22, 12:27 pm, artesea <ryancul...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Anyone from Twitter looking at this list??? >> >> I now have a post with 32 tweets when looking >> athttp://twitter.com/#search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fldv.org.uk%2F20818 >> Yet the post itself is still showing 0. >> >> Until this is fixed there is no point having the numbers displayed. >> >> Completely useless. >> >> Ryan >> >> On Aug 19, 9:22 am, artesea <ryancul...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > I don't give a damn about bit.ly or t.co. >> > I just want people to a) tweet with my own shortlink, and b) display >> > the number of people using that shortlink. >> > I'm not expecting twitter to workout thathttp://ldv.org.uk/20680isa >> > shortlink >> > forhttp://www.libdemvoice.org/office-of-the-public-guardian-finally-star... >> > I'm just expecting them to count the number of tweets >> > withhttp://ldv.org.uk/20680 >> > in them as per the spec. >> >> > Ryan >> >> > On Aug 19, 12:53 am, Jonathan Strauss <jonat...@snowballfactory.com> >> > wrote: >> >> > > I'm pretty sure they're only indexing a subset of redirect links for >> > > the count at this point.
