TwittURLs : Twitter Version Of PopURLs
Lets talk a little about PopURLs in case you don’t know about it. PopURL stands for “Popular URL” and this service is like the central hub where you can find all the URL that are popular on the web. The service pulls links from sites such as Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, YouTube among many others and neatly lists them under the service it was pulled from. The links are based on popularity hence the name PopURLs.
Now to the Twitter part
. Not that we were trying to break our “Twitter Week” promise, we just had to kind of layout the central idea before we talked about TwittURLs. TwittURLs is a similar service like PopURLs and the only difference which you probably already figured out is that it pulls popular links from Twitter. This service lists all the links that are popular on twitter based on number of views. the more it is viewed the higher placement it gets.
This site first lists links to content based on popularity followed by popular images and then videos. It seems like anytime you use Twitpic to send images to twitter, it shows on content category as well. Whenever you send a link to an image through twitpic instead of the title of the image you get “Twitpic – Share images on Twitter,” which is kind of a bummer as it would be nice to see the title. It is a pretty neat service and might be pretty helpful for bloggers to analyze how their links are doing. If its here your links are certainly doing good on Twitter.
