It's been assumed that the more followers you have on Twitter, the more power you have.
However, I think true Twitter power comes from the ability to have your followers follow your links.
That's why I am not using TinyURL to shorten my urls any more. I am using Twitpwr.com.
Dan and I discussed this new site on Joel Comm LIVE! today.
We also answered questions and revealed our new iPhone application.
Watch the replay below.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Hi Joel,
Wow Great tool, you are so creative; you must be a secret mad scientist :-)
Just Kidding. I am going to use Twitter Power Service often.
Thanks,

I'm fascinated by the idea that people will use a service that gives them a chance to rank on a scoreboard.
Great psychology.. exactly what @JimKukral called "all bloggers are vain" today on http://TwitCastRadio.com
You mentioned "I think true Twitter power comes from the ability to have your followers follow your links." .. Really? I always thought there was true social media power that came from a network of people working together and sharing information.
For the work you have to do to engage and keep followers, I hope you want more than traffic to your links. After all, traffic can be bought for a few cents a click... relationships with people that trust you takes a bit more effort.. and it's worth it.
I love the promotion for this.. and think TwitPwr is a useful tool and network builder. Can I interview you about the promotion on our Twitter radio show?

Love the idea. I've been using it for a few days now and it's fun trying to get top rankings.
At the moment, I just toppled the mighty Mark Joyner...mewwwwhaaaahaaaa
I'd love for you to integrate this with one of the WP to twitter plugins.
