Should you want to start collecting something which has to do with the Internet, you might as well start collecting sites that shorten URLs. There are so many that it is impossible to keep track of them, and (to me) that fact only highlights the ever-increasing popularity of Twitter, and the level of interest that goes with it.
This is a new URL shortener for you to add to your collection. It has the usual features plus an added twist: it lets you know all about the popularity of the tweets you put about using the shortened URL, and how many users are retweeting them. Interestingly enough, the site also offers a list of the most accessed redirections for you to weigh up and see what attracts the more attention, and act in consequence.
As it is only customary, a bookmarklet is provided for added convenience. If you try the site out and happen to like it, installing it will certainly not go amiss.
