Just yesterday I created the new tweet.ms (”Tweet Message”) URL Shortening Service. Although there are lots of these already available I’m really trying to create something that offers even more than “your usual URL shortener” yet you cannot see that right now on the page as I have just implemented the basic code allowing for nothing more than short URLs.
However, although no statistics feature is yet available data is gathered on every link already so stats will follow even for the links created right now. It’s just kinda funny to see that just seconds after posting a URL on Twitter a number of bots are already accessing the target URL immediately. It’s always fascinating to see some bots where the corresponding developer didn’t even bother to set a custom user agent so you’ll just see “Python-urllib/2.5″ in the logs.
