Buzztrace (alpha peek)
@edgar and @anibal have worked hard during the last few weeks to get Buzztrace up and running. Buzztrace is a Real Time Analytics Tool for Shared Links (or passed-links). We want to help publishers understand how their links “move” in social media, how and when are they shared, how many “imprints” do they get, who are the key distributors.
We believe that passed-links...
feedtrace.tv
A couple of weeks ago we decided to release feedtrace.tv It uses the same technology we use in feedtrace.com but it is focused in videos, to be more precise, tweets containing links to videos. We rank them and present a list of what is hot in the last hours in twitter. You can also check what video links have been shared by the people you follow.

what is keeping us busy
We are really busy right now. We are working on a new and improved backend. It will rock, for sure. The team is working as hard as possible, with the guidance of @anibalrojas and @edgar.

That is the quest that we started many...

The app is fairly stable. The response times are good in general, but in some cases the Just Following filter takes too long. We...

The good thing is that we are now in our target platform, ready to make progressive improvements to our user experience.

Feedtrace in 2010
We have been working hard over the last 8 months to bring Feedtrace to life. Since we are a bunch of engineers, we decided to solve a difficult problem. We hope that the solution is as useful as challenging ;)
Here’s a semi-geek explanation of what we are doing:
If we look at the millions of links shared a day over real-time streams, and attempt to find interesting content, the...
