But we will be revealing more info in the next few weeks. I will say that we view awe.sm as more of a social media analytics platform than a URL shortener (though, URL shortening is obviously a feature we offer). We are currently testing with several publishers and developers, and we will be looking to expand that group soon. So if you're interested in learning more about our private beta, please drop us a line to developers@awe.sm Thanks for the shout-out Robin, I was wondering where all those new followers on the @awesm account were coming from ;-)
