Re: [twitter-dev] data-related question

Hey Steve,

No suggestion will be made if the user tweeting is already following you. Cf http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button#related

By the way, your account is already going to be shown, thanks to the "data-via" parmeter. There's no need to use "data-related" in your case.

Hi all, I'm trying to make my button suggest people follow my account
after they tweet. I've seen this used by other but can't get it to
work. I suspect I"m not putting the data-related="anywhere:The
Javascript API" in the right place.

What I"m doing:

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-
url="http://openmedia.ca/meter" data-text="@pmharper @m_ignatieff
@jacklayton @gillesduceppe @elizabethmay Stand up for the Internet
#elxn41" data-count="horizontal" data-via="openmedia_ca" data-
related="@openmedia_ca:The Javascript API">Tweet</a><script type="text/
javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

For some reason it does not recommend people follow my account when I
tweet it. Is that what's happening for others? What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
Steve
