tweetmeme

The tweetmeme API is pretty neat: given a long link, it will tell you how many times that link has been tweeted. And it even works, which is nice.

Well, it works most of the time.

On my recent post on the origin of perfect software, I looked over at my custom Tweetmeme badge and saw that this story which had just been published had 42147 tweets. Now, my work is good, but it’s not that good.
