Track The Response To Your Tweets and Status Updates in LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo and other Social Media

Status updates and Tweets are a perfect medium to share tips, experiences and useful information with other people from our networks.

Since these updates and Tweets are limited in length, most of us have to refer to a blog post or article on a website and use a tool to shorten these URL’s.

Tools like Bitly (also integrated in Tweetdeck, one of the best tools to deal with Twitter) and TinyURL are used a lot (for more examples see this blog post about URL Shorteners).

While these tools are very handy to save some space, they don’t show you how many people have clicked on them. Of course you can use Google Analytics or another web analytics tool when you point at your own websites.

So I was very happy to recently have discovered another tool that does this. It is called Tr.im. And it is free!

If you are interested in knowing how many people are following your advice and click on the URL’s in your Tweets and status updates, use this tool.

To your success !
