For a while we have heard about Twitter planning to add retweet feature to Twitter. It’s going to happen sooner rather than later. But I am not sure I’d be using that feature unless Twitter puts the extra effort to introduce a decent tracking system for retweets. Why would anyone want to retweet from twitter when you can use a service such as Retwt.me to track your retweets more effectively. And it’s not just about retweets but also your original tweets as well. If you have used services such as BudURL and Bit.ly, you are probably familiar with how retwt.me works.

A lot of URL shortening services make you sign up for an account before showing you any real information. With retwt.me, you can easily shrink your URLs and keep track of them at all times. The service provides you with the number of clicks on your tweets as well as the source of the click. The clicks break-down helps you figure out what times people are most likely to click on your tweets. You may not pay too much attention to that now but a lot of Twitter experts do!

Overall, Retwt.me is another easy to use URL shrinking service for Twitter. It makes it easy to track your URLs and do some limited analysis on your clicks. And it doesn’t require you to sign up for a PRO account. That’s what I’d like to call simple.
