How to Track Popular Links on Twitter

I love links! And, of course, I love Twitter! So, it’s no wonder I enjoy checking out links on Twitter, and tracking them. Links are shared constantly on Twitter, and it becomes impossible to keep track of everything. How do you know what links are more popular than others, what ones just ‘work’, and what doesn’t?

Enter a new site called Twitturly. Twitturly is a service for tracking what URLs people are talking about as they talk about them on Twitter. It’s easy to explain what Twitturly does: if you are familiar with Digg, then you already get it. On both Digg and Twitturly, people “vote” for a URL. The more votes it gets, the better the rankings are. If a link is very popular, it gets put on the front page of the Twitturly site.

With Twitturly though, you don’t ‘vote’ on their site like you do with Digg. You vote simply by retweeting links that are important to you. Every time you send a link to your followers on Twitter, Twitturly takes note of it and applies your vote.

It doesn’t matter if you use a regular link, a TinyURL link, or even any of the other URL making sites. Twitturly spiders crawl the actual links, not the ‘tiny’ ones. Therefore, your actual link is what is getting votes.

Be sure to keep an eye on the main page of Twitturly throughout the day. You’ll be amazed at the huge variety of links you’ll find there, and you may just discover something very cool that you otherwise wouldn’t have.
