you can actually just search twitter for that http://t.co URL e.g.: http://twitter.com/#!/search/http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FISHbpUw, but also Twitter says it will be releasing an API to make it easier for analytics providers to provide analytics about the links shared: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tco-link-wrapper-faq#How_do_I_p...

Thanks. My failed search was for a substring (i.e. t.co/ISHbpUw) since that's what I see in Google Analytics but that failed; searching for the full URL resolved that problem.

My previous post was also poorly worded. I have no knowledge over whether t.co statistics will be free or not; only that I don't think there is a free way to get them now; I haven't investigated if there were available paid options. The situation of tracking which tweets are giving you traffic is still poor right now, but it might improve in the future.
