Is anyone tracking their incoming Twitter links?
I was thinking as I made my last post about whether I should link to Jeremiah’s Twitter or to his blog. In the end I decided to use both because I was talking about both his tweets and his blog posts.
A google blog search says that I’m the only one whose ever linked to my twitter URL. But that’s just for the basic /Jasonp107 url. I don’t know if it checks for a link with stuff beyond that (i.e. a twitter permalink).
I know almost everyone tracks their inbound blog links. Is anyone tracking their inbound twitter links?

I’m not, mostly because whenever you get a reply, it gets listed in the search results, which doesn’t really count as an inbound link. So there’s a lot of sifting through the results to see who might be linking.
But I’m also thinking microblog inbounds aren’t a very interesting number because the value you can provide in 140 chars is much less than that of a blog post. People might subscribe because they think you’re funny, pithy or whatever, but… I dunno.
@Eric - the point is well taken, but I’m really far more interested in knowing WHO is talking about my tweets and when. I’d love to go check out what’s being said.
I’m not particularly concerned with the search rank value or the depth of the thought (which, I’d argue, is considerable in 140 characters. How about Hemmingway’s best work, “For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.”)
