How to push a link 

To push a link...

1. In the browser, go to the page you want to link to.

2. Click on the OmMeme bookmarklet.

2. Your Twitter home page opens with the title of the page followed by the shortened URL in the edit box.

3. Edit the tweet as needed.

Important: There must be no text after the link in your tweet or else the link won't be recognized by the report writer app.

4. Click Submit.

5. Your report is at: http://twitter.scripting.com/guyTopLinks.html.

How it works 

The bookmarklet opens a page on redirect.twitterland.net -- one of my servers. It grabs the referrer link and shoots it over to tr.im, with your tri.im username and password as params (also the apikey they gave me). It returns the shortened URL. I take the title of the page, add the shortened URL, and then redirect to twitter.com.

Every five minutes:

1. I check if there have been any updates to your twitter account.

2. I check back with tr.im to see how many hits your 100 more recent links have gotten and

3. Prepare the report and upload it to S3.

Note that I do not need (or want) your Twitter account info. That's between you and Twitter.
