“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So, what the hell, leap.” – Cynthia Heimel

Cool Twitter tool

Cool Twitter tool

TwitPwr is a cool free url shortening service that is currently in Beta launch. When you use TwitPwr it tracks the number of clicks that you drive via Twitter API and gives your account a Power Rating.

Your Power Rating is not only based on the unique traffic you generate but also on how many Twitter users you refer back to the service and how much traffic they generate through unlimited generations.

It’s totally free and you can set up as many urls as you would like.  I think it’s pretty cool. So go check it out.  Oh, and here’s what one of my links looks like: http://TwitPWR.com/needmorereferrals/
