Monday, October 5th, 2009
You may have noticed some new functionality to blog posts and portfolio projects around here. I added a “Tweet This” link. I don’t, however display how many (or few) times an article has been re-tweeted. Is the big “ZERO TWEETS” icon keeping the article from being re-tweeted? I think it might.
