Okay. I want to show you a very cool tool in budurl.com and I want to show you how I use it so that you can get a really good idea of this. Okay, I've just published a new blog post. So we're going to go up here, we're going to grab the URL, that is one of those huge humongous URLs.
So we go to budurl and we enter in the entire URL. Now this is not just a shrinking program like all of the other programs out there. Obviously we take this entire thing and we'll shrink it and now this huge URL becomes a considerably smaller URL of this, okay? Now, I am going to make a note to myself, Blog Post Re Premiumcast.com FAQ. I have just done a blog post about an FAQ system for our Premium Cast program and I want to let, I want to put it up for public comment etcetera.
And so there we go, we have the budurl. Now we're going to take the budurl and I am going to go over to Ping.fm and Pingfm is just one of many programs that does distribution. But basically, when I submit this, you're going to see it goes to Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Pownce, MySpace, Linkedin etcetera. In our Ping.fm maybe I will do a different video about that later, but right now what I want to show you is budurl because there are other products that do what Ping does, only one that does, Bud does. Alright, anyway.
I'd love your thoughts on this one... and then I do that and I Ping. So now what has happened is, is this goes out to all the different systems out there. So for instance, we'll see now, go out to Twitter. We'll see that my -- selecting here, there we go. You can see that I'd love your thoughts on this one and it's there, it's out there to the world, okay, a URL shorting system, considerably more than that.
Now, we go back to Bud, we go to the click Stream. Now watch this, very, very powerful. Now, you can see that this is starting to come through. I am starting to see where these came from. The first person who clicked on it, came from this IP address and so this is somebody coming from oh, we can't really tell too much about this one. That's okay, and we take a look at this one and this one is coming from PSINet and -- interesting. That is exciting either.
But Washington DC. So somebody in Washington DC is taking a look at this, but if you look at this here, we can just see, just since I posted this, these three came through. We don't know the referral, so that was probably a Twitter system, a desktop type of system, but we know that this person clicked through from Facebook.
So we know that somebody clicked through from Facebook. We know these, we know this person clicked through from twitter.com/home meaning that, that person was probably on their Twitter Home Page and we can see these clicks that are starting. So now, with budurl, I can actually send out a message and find out, wow, someone coming through Twitter, someone coming through Facebook. Look at this, this is coming from a website called Microblog something, I don't even know MicroBlogBuzz.
So now my link has showed up on MicroBlogBuzz. I wouldn't have normally known that if it wasn't for budurl. So you can see this will continue to go, and as the clicks will come through, I will be able to get a reporting. So 9:49:31 seconds, 12 seconds later, 9 seconds later, 4 seconds later, same time, 8 seconds later, 3 seconds later, 4 seconds later, 4 seconds later, oh, we have to wait 24 for that one to get the idea.
So anyway, with budurl, I can now see where my shrunk URLs are coming from and I can get a better idea of what's going on. I mean obviously this company called MicroBlogBuzz, they're putting my links up and they're showing them with the world and people I don't know are clicking on them, so that's pretty viable stuff. So that is budurl. I am sure you can agree it's incredibly powerful. I recommend that you take a look at it today.
