On 31 May new bitcoin submissions started being fed into http://twitter.com/bitrific: the first being http://twitter.com/#!/bitrific/status/75582386213101568 there were 36 subscribers then, now about 130. http://twittercounter.com/compare/bitrific/month/followers.

This is really cool, I love the random things that come up(e.g. search for goats).

Also, I suggest you add the ability to compare multiple trends? It would be interesting to see the Bias's on HN when comparing say, Apple to Microsoft or Android to IOS.

thanks, comparative trends is definitely something I'd like to include although not sure how to fit it into the UI right now.

goats seem to be trending down, poor things.
