Thanks for the response!

> I’m afraid this is a twitter cache issue.

Can you explain specifically what you mean by cache here?

I can understand Twitter caching and not recalculating “TweetCounts” sums for every request, but then I’d expect the posted TweetCount to be lower than a search on Twitter’s site (and eventually, over time, catch up).

However, I’m seeing a TweetCount higher than the tweets returned in a Twitter search. That doesn’t sound cache-related to me — does it to you?

If you mean that Twitter Search Results has the cache and “recent tweets” aren’t returned in search results until they “get into a search cache” — this post:

http://chasnote.com/2011/03/19/the-advertising-battles-of-sxsw-2011/

is a week old, has been reporting “5 tweets” since Thursday (4 days ago), but clicking through to Twitter search:

http://twitter.com/#search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fchasnote.com%2F2011%2F03%2F19%2Fthe-advertising-battles-of-sxsw-2011%2F

Reports no results. Is 4 days is kind of long to attribute to caching?

If you’re aware of any twitter-specific API discussion of this problem (outside the scope of WordPress), please link me.

Thanks for writing/supporting the widget!
