Takako Kansai, a developer working at User Local,Inc.[J] has released a service to measure the popularity of tweets.

Takako Kansai’s blog[J]

The service named ReTweeter!, shows how many users could have read your tweets from number of your followers and ReTweets.

ReTweeter!

Features of ReTweeter! are;

• You can check how many users can read your tweets (No. of followers and No. of followers of users ReTweeted your tweet)
• You can check what is the latest tweet ReTweeted by many users
• You can check who is the person most ReTweeted

At the top page, latest poular tweets are displayed. From the left top menu, you can check popular tweets, daily ranking for popular tweets, and ranking of popular twitter users.

You could aslo search popular tweets for a certain user (limited only for Japanse users now)

Ex: my popular tweets

Currently this service is showing only Japanese tweets, but Takako is planning to release English version soon.

There is also a similar service called Retweetist, developed and operated by Mike Sheetal who is the founder of the ad agency in Tokyo, UltraSuperNew. Retweetist looks more like a social news service and on the one hand, ReTweeter! is more feauring on users.

Club T, one of the biggest online T-shirts seller (like threadless) in Japan, suggests 7 meters high T-shirt which fits the Odaiba real-sized Gundam statue.

The 7m x 4.7m T-shirt, which is designed to the real size Gundam, will be tailored and shipped after one month, though it fails to meet the end date of Gundam exibition, start with 300,000 yen (3,080 USD) as the lowest bid price.

As we reported before, photo right with the Odaiba Gundam was sold by 26,000 USD recently. The buyer Tatsuhiro Minobe’s video report costed 26,000 USD from Gundam’s shoulder (actually he could not get on the shoulder but the shoulder level) can be watched here.

There are definitely people who are glad to pay a lot for anything Gundam related. Well, is this T-shirt really related? There are no bidder appeared yet and the auction will end in 7 days on August 18th.
