The delicious history of a TinyURL
Yesterday, or maybe the day before, I posted about a Yahoo pipe that took a url and found a list of people who had bookmarked that link on delicious, and listed their description of (comments about) that link as well (Pivotal Moments... (pivotwitter?!))
I also described a pipe that would find the actual url of a page from a TinyURL.
Looking for a quick five minute tinker just now, I thought I'd plug the two together to create a pipe that takes a tinyurl andin return gives a list of who's bookmarked it - and how - on delicious:
TinyURL to delicious history pipe: http://pipes.yahoo.com/ouseful/tinyurl2delihistory
It even works...
I guess the next step is to create a simple wrapper that handles a "normal" (literal?) URL or a TinyURL, and then calls the appropriate pipe...

TraceURL shortens any URL plus it tracks traffic to the page through the TraceURL shortened web site address, showing where the traffic originated. Count accesses and have the origin of the visitor displayed on a Google Map.
