Track your Tweets from Mint
We're big fans of Mint, Shaun Inman's web stats tracking tool. Although the default Pepper (Mint's term for plugins) will track the basics, the beauty of Mint (aside from the interface, which IS beautiful) is in the various Pepper's developed by Inman and the Mint community for further tracking web statistics. Till Kruss has just released the first stable version of his Pepper, Tweets (which you can download here) which combines Damon Cortesi's Tweet Stats script with Mint. Not only can you "Tweet" from within the Mint dashboard (and view recent tweets from those that you follow), you can also display and track your Twitter usage statistics.

A look at the frequency of Tweets per hour using Tweets in Mint
The Pepper is still in development, and there may still be some bugs -- not to mention Twitter's own erratic behavior as of late -- but we think this is still a very, very cool little tool.

Good God, I agree completely with the first two commenters. I think it's awesome that you guys use Twitter more than, say, Office...but how about having some mercy on us regular workin' shmoes who don't spend our days telling our friends what we're up to. Could whoever's on the 24/7 Twitter Beat maybe be reassigned to something a little more useful?
