We added a great new feature to Beta this week: real-time bit.ly stats.
Now, when you share you new posts on Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed, TypePad shortens your post URLs through the bit.ly service. And now in TypePad you can get simple statistics on how often those links are clicked.

Click the link and you’ll see a page of real-time clickthrough stats on posts that you’ve shared with your friends on Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed.Click on the bit.ly URL for each of the entries for more detailed stats directly from bit.ly. Simple!
Sidenote:
If you haven't shared any posts on Twitter, Facebook or FriendFeed, then you won't see any bit.ly stats.
If you're not sharing your posts with your friends, it's really easy to set up. Check out the TypePad Knowledge Base for detailed instructions.
We need your feedback to make this feature better! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
