The problem is that for count, you set it to 4 while it should be 1 because you are sending 1 vec4 to the shader. In this example well only use 2d coordinates because we plan to make a 2d effect, but feel free to use 3d coordinates for a 3d effect mapping the texture on a rotating cube like compiz, for instance.
Im conceptualising a good approach to rendering as many disjointed pieces of geometry with a single draw call in opengl, and the wall im up against is the best way to do so when each piece has a different translation and maybe rotation, since you dont have the luxury of updating the model view uniform between single object draws.
