So a couple months ago, I created a new links site similar to tinyurl. The difference for me is that tinydd includes stats tracking. The mechanics are pretty simple actually, I map a 9 digit numeric ID that the links are all saved as in the DB to a base 62 alphabet (capital, lower case letters and numbers). I also made a bookmarklet to use when I am surfing. I even modified the WordPress twitter plugin to use tinydd.
The stats pages are finally finished I think. They can be seen here. I also included some screenshots. It was a fun side project for me for a while and I think its done.
If you want any of the code I would be happy to provide it.
