I was always a TinyUrl gal. I mean, it makes sense really. I’m tiny, I like the word tiny and I like links that are tiny.

BUT THEN! Then! I learned that through services like Urlzen and Cligs you can make your links tiny and TRACKABLE, too!

This is important for those of you who are using Twitter, linking to interesting articles/clips on Facebook or promoting your personal blog. Or your other blog. See! Now that you’ve clicked there I’ll know because the “my cligs” section will tell me so.

Anyway, I think this sort of thing is about the coolest invention ever. And I’m sure there are more than just two of these services out there. Give it a quick Google. I just happen to dig this one.

Oh, and the nice thing about Cligs is that it’s creators are still in the throws of building it out, so they are very quick to respond to feedback. That’s how I got into an email conversation with Cligs man Pierre, who said that he I got the idea for it when he started using Twitter and realized that he had no idea how many peope were clicking the links he was sharing.

Well, thanks, Pierre! Thanks to you I know exactly how many folks are clicking on the links I’m sharing. Knowledge is more than power, it’s flipp’n cool.
