show tweetmeme button and facebook share button

I created custom wordpress theme. In that theme I am using the_excerpt method for showing the post on some pages.
I installed the tweetmeme and facebook-share-new plugins and activated on wordpress site.
I saw one issue with these plugins. These plugins are showing on only single pages or posts.

Facebook and twitter button are not showing when I am using the the_excerpt() function.

Add following code to line no 721 and comment the following line.

add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘tm_update’);
//add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘tm_remove_filter’, 9);

Add following code to line no 129
remove_action(‘the_excerpt’, ‘tm_update’);
