Interesitng to read the coverage of Roost’s $8M VC round on TechCrunch. When conversation turned to traffic, I ran my usual barometer and was surprised to notice they’re arguably not even at RCG levels of traffic yet.

The tool, business exchange, is really quiet right now, but I’ve accutally seen some decent traffic from articles I’ve submitted that link to RCG. I think there’s a there there, so consider joining me and pushing the tool a bit.

Regarding budurl, here are are some quick results from the 4 budURL’s I’ve created so far…
But probably more interesting, you can see timestamp, notes, referrer and IP (I’m not including IP in the screenshot for privacy reasons, but it’s there).
Initially, the stream was dominated by the link back to the hotlist, but after posting a link to a Flickr photo about 10 minutes later, that obvoiusly took over. Interesting, I’m going to assume that all the “blank” referrers are coming from twitter clients like twirl.
It’s only 15 minutes into my test and I’m liking it already!
