What it does

A drop-in replacement for Twitter

OpenShareCount is no longer operational due to changes at Twitter. Twitter’s share buttons used to have a share counter in them. On November 20th, 2015 , Twitter changed the look of their buttons and removed the share count along with the unofficial and undocumented API endpoint that powered it.
