Thanks

Thanks everso much for this- I have added one to my comments section so there is a tweet link at both ends of my lens!

@Bob – it’s true that a lens already has the social buttons, but this Retweet button is a more visible, plus you can put it any where you like.

Ok, I’m not sure why you need this. You can already tweet your lens.
The social buttons are at the top and bottom.

What would be the advantage of using this, and where do you get the button. It isn’t part of the code.

I am just off to add this to my lenses now, hoping to see an increase in traffic, or at least Twitter popularity.

This is great information. I’ve had the tweetmeme button on my blog for quite a while and love it, I had no idea we could use it on our lenses too. I just added it to one of my busiest lenses. I like how it sees the retweets that were out there before I put the button up. Thanks for the code. I really appreciate it.

This is wonderful tool – Fluff! – I’m really enjoying your Squidutils Toolbar as well.

@Susan52 – for blogs, you want to use the TweetMeme plugin – this will add the button automatically to each post. Also, it’s probably best to tweet the links to individual posts and not the blog’s home page.

@Tony – can’t use a parameter, sorry; not on Squidoo.

@Teddi14 – yes, the button will be inaccurate, but I’m guessing most people will use the retweet button anyway.

I do see a problem…. Now Squidoo is making each lens address into a shortened url (when sent from a lens page) so when someone tweets from the button it is then tweeted or re-tweeted under that shortened URL.

At least you could get traffic from the shortened url link but your RT number count will be incorrect. Does this make sense?
