BackType Retweet counter

BackType has a impressive Retweet counter. If you wish to play with the colors of the widget so that it suits your blog design then BackType Retweet counter just allows you to do that. After Tweetmeme, this one is the most impressive one which provides a range of options to tweak the widget.
