#A link shortener and click recorder, a la bit.ly#

##[In Progress]##

##Overview:##

  1. Scrapes twitter for tweets including a search string and pulls the top 5.
  2. Inserts these into a mongodb collection with an incrementing id and computes a shortened url ending from the associated id. Two algorithms written to compute the url in a semi-random fashion using encoding to base 32 (undercase letters + numbers minus the confusing ones) and bit-swapping.
  3. [TODO: Urls posted online. Clicks are redirected to real url and information about the clicker is logged.
  4. Text sent to me whenever a link is clicked.
  5. Email digest about link-clicks and stats about browsers and operating systems sent once per day. ]
