Anytime you want to share a link to a web site you are tracking with Clicky Web Analytics, you'll want to use clicky.me. This is because you'll be able to use our segmentation functionality with any link you share, to view not only aggregate stats of the visitors who arrived via a certain link (e.g. the top referring domains, top countries, average time on site, bounce rate, etc), but also view the individual visitors themselves. This gives you the best data available of any URL shortener.clicky.me is designed specifically for sharing links to a web site you are tracking with Clicky. You can use it for sharing links to other sites too, but you won't get any data on the link other than the number of hits it's received.
