  When I open up the blog post (http://thlibrary.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/googlevspubmed/), the share via twitter button displays ‘8’ shares. When I check on the WordPress admin stats under shares, it only shows ‘1’ via twitter. When I check my twitter account, I see no tweets or retweets of the post or link.

  What exactly does the twitter share button display count mean? Is there a glitch or is it counting something else??

  The count for the Twitter button is updated in real-time, while the count in our stats is only updated a few times a day.

  It should eventually catch up.
