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.

TweetStats displays your Twitter activity in graphical form

TweetStats

Earlier in the month, we told you about TwitterStats, a downloadable script that would graph your Twitter statistics. The author of TwitterStats, Damon Cortesi, thought it would be great to take TwitterStats to the next level. He did so by making TwitterStats into a Ruby application that you could run without having to download and run a script, a task perhaps only advanced users are capable of.

When you visit TweetStats for the first time, the website prompts you for your Twitter username. Another interesting piece to the front page is the graph that shows you the most popular Twitter apps. FYI, currently the web interface is the most popular at 46% followed by Twitterrific with 21%. After you enter in your username, TweetStats gives you a basic graph of your Twitter activity. As you can see by the screenshot above, my most active Twitter day is Wednesday.

We like TweetStat's simplicity and functionality. Being able to link back to the graph url is a nice feature for those who want to show their graph on their blog or website.

Thanks Damon for this addicting new Twitter tool! Now we stand to get even less done today as we play with TweetStats.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
