Mashable just reviewed the new Fleck Lite service we launched this weekend. Because we are the founders of Fleck and the feature was, well, Lite we didn’t post it to TheNextWeb.com right away. But if it is good enough for Mashable it is good enough for us!

Fleck Lite is really just a “Tweet a link to Twitter” bookmarklet with a few simple extras:

One, it turns your URL into a shorter URL.
Two, it gives you a field to enter a custom message for every URL you want to tweet.
Three, we will start offering stats for every URL you tweet (click-through) soon.
Four, every tweeted url is saved in Fleck so you can easily find it later. 

But don’t take my word for it. Watch this entertaining movie by Patrick explaining everything in less than 1:15 minutes:

    Just another Tweetburner. http://www.tweetburner.com

    Or another Bemba, but without the screenshots and multiple platform support :)
  • There are a lot of services out there that post content to Twitter. Fleck Lite was something we wanted to build for really easy postings to twitter, because we use that service soooo much.

    The original version of Fleck had these features in it, and even a lot more features aimed at collaborative bookmarking, the Lite version is super stripped down (so no sharing with email addresses, no group sharing etc.).

    For Fleck Lite you don't need to fill out your email address and it does just what it has to do, send your message to your twitter account.

    Fleck has been around for quite some time, this Lite version is build out of 99% code we already use in the original Fleck.

    Some people like to have a twirl.nl or bemba.com link in their tweets, other like a sexy fleck.com link :). This is apart from the different features each service has.
  • i will give the Fleck a try for some time

    for another row :)
