i've been switched to the new Twitter interface, and it's not immediately apparent if shit like this is being ratioed or not. it only displays counts for RTs and Likes.

I'm 99% sure they did this to reduce query load on their application servers. By only showing the count once you've scrolled through all of the comments, they can do a local count rather than aggregate all of that info server-side which is much more expensive.

Or if you interact with the Tweet in any way (click on it, like it RT it...) If you dont interact, I *think* it only shows number for people you follow who have replied, RTed, or liked. I can't be sure about this part though because I dont have a back-up account to test with.

Loading seems to be taking a while.
