Up above the headline on that page, there are two retweet buttons. The one on the left is powered by backtype. The one of the right is powered by Tweetmeme. There's a monstrous discrepancy between the tracking numbers here.

I really want to use Backtype's button on WindyCitizen, but their data appears to be pretty off here.

Hi Brad, thanks for getting in touch with us -- we had an issue related to your domain specifically that is being addressed right now in addition to some corrupted indexes that were affecting all of our counts today. Both of these will be fixed very soon and our counts will return to being accurate.

Ha. We were blacklisted? That's interesting.

Thanks, I'm big fans of what you guys did with Hype Machine. Would love to do something similar, but the numbers here worry me.
