For my posting on twitter, when i post a link i try to make use of the tweetburner (http://www.tweetburner.com) service, which if your not familiar with it shortens your URL to approx 23-25 letters (good for twitter because of the character limit)
The other benefit is that it tracks how many clicks your links that you share receive. The thing i have just realized though is that even though my average clicks per link is only about 13.6, this is actually more then double the average for all links shared in this fashion. The average for all links through the Tweetburner service is just 6.3 clicks per link.
In fact to get to the top 10 in the last hour seems at time of writing anyway to only need about 17 clicks. Anyway just thought this was interesting, considering my other finds that the number of followers is not really reflective on how popular a link is.
