Search Twitter

Find real time results in twitterville from the Web, go to search.twitter

What's really cool about Seach Twitter (an option twitter.com still doesn't have yet) is the option to "View/Hide Conversation."

Flag Counter | monitoring online traffic by country

A free widget with embedded company logo. Upgrade paid options available for additional online-traffic data reports.

GasBuddy.com | mapping colors and numbers

provided by GasBuddy.com

What I like about this map is that you can read the prices with color codes in state and county level, as well as zooming to street level for latest updates on prices at the pumps. I monitored several stations near my home and the prices were accurate or very close (like 1 to 3 cents off.) The options to select types of gasoline (in street level) is a plus. Enter a location name or a Zip Code for a try!

tr.im | shorten long URLs for everything

Web tool for shortening URLs with option built-in Twitter for instant tweeting.

The site provides real-time net audience traffic results in analytical charts as long as the tr.im site is still opened. If you want to keep a record of all your original and trimmed URLs, open an account is required. Do yourself a favor by making a bookmark. Go to tr.im
