Twitter are releasing their own analytics. As mashable points out, this could be worrying for 3rd party analytics providers (not to mention those social media agencies whose offerings consist solely of analytics).

A couple of the social media big boys have been anti social recently. Digg is currently bent over nanny karma’s knee getting spanked whilst Twitter is still waiting for daddy to find out that they’ve shat in his slippers. (more…)

Today it has been hard to avoid TwitRank on Twitter. TwitRank is a fun little app which gives you a title. Nothing more, nothing less, or rather it wasn’t supposed to do any more or less.
