Track the Most Popular Websites Being Twittered

“Twitt(url)y is a service for tracking what URLs people are talking about as they talk about them on Twitter.”
This service might be useful for bloggers who have writers’ block.
Visit this website and you have an instant idea of which websites are currently creating a buzz on Twitter. Check the popular websites being posted on Twitter and hey presto, it could spark an idea for your blog. For instance at the time of writing the most Twittered URL is http://tinyurl.com/65da4q – this point to a photograph of a lecture room full of students most of which have Apple laptops. This image could be the inspiration for a number of articles.
Many people on Twitter do shorten URLs using services such as tinyurl and spurl but that does not matter. Twitturly visits all links on Twitter and the top 100 chart is worked out using the ‘final destination’ of those shortened URLs.
Overall the Twitturly service could prove to be a useful site to have bookmarked for reference. There must be some kind of useful mashup that uses this information, perhaps using Yahoo Pipes. Get your thinking caps on!
