Track your Tweets from Mint

by Christina Warren Jan 31st 2008

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.

I agree! I am growing increasingly irritated with all the twitter post on here. I love this blog, but geez enough with the twitter already!

Maybe you guys could create a new blog for all your twitter posts so people who dont care about twitter dont have to hear about twitter.

This is awesome. As a Twitter and Mint user, I for one, really appreciate the post.

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?

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
