Tweet count and article renames.
-
Hi, I can't say it is really a bug, but I recently published an article with the title ExpandableIocContainer. Later I changed the title to be "Exandable IoC Container". Doing that also changed the link (before it was http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/692888/ExpandableIocContainer, now it is Expandable IoC Container[^]). By doing that, all the tweets that existed before "disappeared". They are still there if I really look by the old address: https://twitter.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.codeproject.com%2FArticles%2F692888%2FExpandableIocContainer&f=realtime[^] But it is usually only considering the new tweets: https://twitter.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.codeproject.com%2FArticles%2F692888%2FExpandable-IoC-Container&f=realtime[^] Is it possible to sum those results or for speed considerations those old tweets will be simply lost?

You mean the tweet count was reset? Tweet count is based on the one thing that Twitter will see: your URL. Change the title and you change the URL. However, when editing an article you can be sneaky: below the WYSIWYG editor is a line showing the final URL of the article. Click the slug (the end bit of the URL) and set that to whatever you want, eg. the old slug 'ExpandableIocContainer" and twitter will hook it up again.

I will remember that for the next time... now I already have tweets in both addresses.
