Twitter: Rate limit exceeded, do tweet buttons count as a request?

I've got a twitter feed that caches a request from twitter. At most it gets the feed every 10 minutes (so that's 6 times an hour out of the max limit of 150).

I regularly get issues when the rate limit is exceed. The only reason I can think of that could be causing this is because of the tweet buttons used elsewhere on the site.

Does using a tweet button count as a request, and if so, what's the best way to cache the results?

I'm using the json request: http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/USER_ACCOUNT.json?count=2

What you want to do is use this request for your tweet buttons, I don't think it's rate limited.

Twitter Link Count from Twitter REST API
