I'm using the Tweet Button from http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton Code: <a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="none">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Even though I do not display the Tweet count, there is still sent a request to twitter for the count.json. This is rather useless in my opinion and only produces traffic. The problem here is that the count.json seems to delay the onload event of the page, which is rather bad in my opinion. Some times the count.json response is pretty fast but other times the response can be around 400ms and this is not really acceptable. Is this the right place to post this issue? I did not find another way to contact twitter directly. thomas -- 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
