Snick.me helping Xboxtweet be more competitive
You should use Snick.me as your URL shortcutter, because people could see ranking of Tweets, Clicks and Retweets on their home page as well, inducing people be more competitive through xboxtweet
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I've been looking at the website, but can't really find out why this'd be an improvement over tinyurl. Could you summarize the benefits please?
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?Yes,
TinyURL it's a good shortener service, but I think you can do more with Snick.me, because:
Snick.me grabs Twitter looking for tweets containing all URLs shortened with Snick.me and rank then by popularity (Retweets and link hits).
- They offer an extensive API (XML and JSON), you can get information like number of Tweets and Clicks.
- There are a "preview API functionality" scheduled for September that you can get from Snick.me the same list that they have on they Home Page (Hits rank, Retweets rank, Last Tweets and Recent Generations) only for an specific domain
(e.g.: Get top 10 retweets of the month only for urls shortened from "xboxtweet.com" via XML or JSON, and you can display on your home page, maybe today they will open for "beta" test, need to follow @snickme to see updates)
- They are new (URLs with 18 characters "http://snick.me/aa", TinyURL has 25 "http://tinyurl.com/mdrzl8")
- Ticket system if there are any problem
- If they need to change they API, they send an alert via Twitter 30 days before
API: http://snick.me/help/api
There are some cool stuffs, but this is the most important to you that I saw
(sorry for my long text)

Inappropriate?Still not convinced. Nobody will ever retweet XboxTweet's tweets (or at least, no one *should*). As for less characters, is.gd would win. So to save myself some time from hacking a new URL shortener in (there is also no Perl module WWW::Shorten::SnickMe) I'll not implement this idea.
The company thinks
this is one of the best points

If users will not retweet this kind of URL you generate, there is no reason to use Snick.me somehow.
About the Perl module, Snick.me was developed in ROR, I could write a perl module for your, but I know that is not the point.
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss,
