I sent a note out over Twitter earlier today trying to gather some additional responses to a Web Tools Survey I am working on: Doing a survey of news Web sites – what open-source and free tools and services do you use: http://bit.ly/oju #journ
Typical enough – but what was interesting was watching the traffic (via bit.ly):
I have noted on the chart the timing of each re-tweet (red) and, perhaps more importantly, the actual conversions of clicks to survey responses (green). In the first hour the survey received five re-tweets, 110 referrals from Twitter, and four people actually completed the survey.

Hey do you follow @danzarrella? He's got some awesome Twitter tools at danzarrella.com.
I love bit.ly. Why anyone still uses tinyurl is beyond me.
Okay. This is fascinating. I can't wait to launch another survey!
Monica – I am not familiar with him but will go take a look – thanks!
Sounds like you need to work on your conversion rate. Not even all the ppl that retweeted filled out the survey.
Most of the retweeters had completed it previously. They were just being helpful to give it a RT.thanks
