So I use bit.ly for url shortening of my tweets and fb posts. However they don't let me see the ip addresses of users who click on the bit.ly link.

Is it worth it now to have a url shortening service for tweets etc? Should I just use my site's url directly?

Secondly any url shortener that will give me ip addresses? thanks!

Since Twitter doubled the 140 characters to 280, URL shorteners are not the essential method of posting links anymore. I stopped using them altogether. Makes tracking much more efficient.

You get the IP addresses from your access logs.

Yes you are right keyplyr I'll stop them too.. can't track users with services like bitly. Thanks!
