Today on their blog, URL shortening service Bit.ly unveiled a cute new feature: Clickabit. It's a Twitter account that surfaces some of the "surprising and bizarre" links being shortened and shared across their network. But the feature also hints at something we've been talking about for a while: Bit.ly Now.
"We?re currently hard at work on several systems that will expose some of the interesting data we?re playing with. In the meantime, we?d like to introduce @clickabit," Bit.ly writes in the post. They key part is obviously the first half. We've known for a while that Bit.ly has been planning some sort of service to expose the best links being shared across the web -- kind of like Tweetmeme or Digg. But Bit.ly links are shared on email and Facebook too; it would be about more than Twitter.
