Tweetcount Widget

Show the number of times your posts have been linked on Twitter and let readers retweet

This widget uses BackType Connect to find all the links your posts receive on Twitter. It shows the number of tweets you have, and lets users retweet your posts quickly and easily

This is the simplest way to display this widget:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.backtype.com/tweetcount.js"></script>

However, you can also modify several parameters:

Parameter	Default	Description
tweetcount_url	Current URL	The URL to measure tweets for
tweetcount_title	Title of current page	The title of the page for retweets
tweetcount_src		Leading text for retweets
tweetcount_via	true	If tweets contain '(via @BackType)'
tweetcount_links	false	If links should be opened in new windows
tweetcount_size	"large"	Size of button ("large" or "small")
tweetcount_api_key		Awe.sm API Key for custom URL shortener
tweetcount_short_url	Generated (bt.io)	Specify the pre-shortened URL that you would like to use
tweetcount_background		Button background color (e.g. 'FFFFFF')
tweetcount_border		Button border color (e.g. 'CCCCCC')
tweetcount_text		Button text color (e.g. '000000')

For example:

<script type="text/javascript">
    tweetcount_url = 'http://blog.backtype.com/2009/04/backtype-connect-wordpress-plugin/';
    tweetcount_title = 'Tweetcount Widget';
    tweetcount_src = 'RT @BackType:';
    tweetcount_via = false;
    tweetcount_links = true;
    tweetcount_size = 'small';
    tweetcount_background = 'FFFFFF';
    tweetcount_border = 'CCCCCC';
    tweetcount_api_key = '5c3bba3f5d77a46a13453091e36dc1cde4335e9299a1edeeaa3c31d193b33fda';
