SU.PR by StumbleUpon: Very Cool

su.pr is the new URL Shortening and Social Sharing service from the creators of StumbleUpon. I love it already. The service does a few things that I find useful, and without the bells and whistles that I don't need. First, it's accessed via a javascript bookmarklet, so in modern browsers, I can simply hit a button and pop-down a utility bar. From this utility bar, I can shorten the URL of the page (if I choose) and I can also update either my Twitter Status, my Facebook Status, or BOTH. I can also choose to schedule the updates for later. What I also find very useful, and plan to use more and more moving forward, is the insights available from su.pr. I can tell things like what are the most popular links I'm posting or re

-posting, and get analytics like CTR for those links, and even time of day data so I can pot at the right time (if I cared about that).Also, because it's tied to both my Twitter and Facebook accounts, if I were in need of a social promotion, this mechanism would both facilitate and deliver measurable results. It's almost as though it was built with marketing in mind.
