Though I am personally big fan of Tweetmeme, it is still a undenying fact that, living in a technology age it is wise enough to have an edge over technology by not restricting ourselves to specific offering. This is just one of the reason and enough to have following article seeking tweetmeme alternatives. Also recently, I have been experiencing faulty functioning of some of my tweetmeme counters, of which some even do not cross the zero position when already couple of retweets for article being done.

So keeping all this behind, let us look at some of the alternatives available for tweetmeme Twitter counters.
