As I’ve said before a new twitter application is born about every 30 seconds in the world, but a listener “Brian” pointed out three that he finds useful.
Tweetstats
This service shows you how many tweets you’ve posted, and when you posted them (which day, etc). You can find it at www.tweetsats.com

Twitter Counter
You can find this one at www.twittercounter.com
Twitter counter is pretty darn cool. Not only does it show your growth over some set periods of time it’ll also show you your average growth per day.
It’s been fascinating to watch how the growth changes depending on a number of different factors such as if I auto-follow everyone who follows me.

Twitter Grader
Last but not least is Twitter Grader at http://twitter.grader.com/
This one is useful when you want to connect with some of the larger twitter users in a local area (like at conference, etc). It’s pretty much a ego meter.

I started using the Virtual Smart Agent back in the end of 2008. I used it all 2009. I kind of set it up and it go. I just remembered that I had it when someone had put a question to one of the agents and the question was not in the database. So in logging in to take care of the question, I looked at the stats. Here are my stats for using Virtual Smart Agent.
You can see where I have 5 people added to my email list, and I got 5 sales ($200 at least as its on a monthly membership site – so probably more) for spending $99ish (hint, if you go off the page they will offer you a deal).
