Twitterlinkr – Shows you the popular links that people are posting in Twitter.

How does it work?

First, the Linkr is collecting "friend timelines" of some english speaking twitter users. Then we parse all the tweets, looking for links in it. If there is a link, we collect the tweet and number it. For tweets with tinyurls we also reverse the URL so that you can see in your browser where the tweet realy is linking.

Why do you follow me on twitter?

We only collect links from some users. If "twlinkr" is following you, we are interested in your links. They are awesome ;) Because of that we follow you, and then strip the links from our friends timeline.

Most popular

This feature we realy love. TwitterLinkr is looking for all words in the collected tweets. If the word is appearing in 8 or more tweets within the last 24 hours, it's displayed on the most popular page. If it's appearing in 10 or more tweets, the word is displayed in the navigation bar of the page. There's only a little filter for stop words we don't like to display, because "this", "that" and some more are realy don't worth being displayed.

Most active users

There is also a page for the 1000 most active users. That's fun, nothing more. Btu I like to look aroung here. Funny names.
